When to use this tool
Open a ZIP file and save the files packed inside it.
A ZIP is like a folder wrapped into one file. Choose it to see the contents, then download the files you need.
What to check before you start
You need a complete, readable archive. This tool cannot repair missing or damaged files.
Keep your original files until you have opened the downloaded result and checked it. The tool works on a copy, so you can start again if you need different settings.
Example: get one document from a ZIP download
Select the ZIP you received and browse its contents before saving anything. Find the document by its folder path as well as its name, because different folders can contain files with identical names. Download the item you need and open it with the appropriate app. You do not have to download a whole collection just to retrieve one invoice or photograph.
Why a ZIP may fail to open
Check that the download has finished and that you selected a complete archive rather than one numbered piece. An incomplete download can have the right filename but still lack important data. Try getting the source file again if it appears damaged. If it is password-protected, use an archive app that accepts the password; this page is not a password-recovery service.
Understand folders and download choices inside a ZIP
An archive can contain several folders, and the same short filename can appear more than once. The full path tells you where each file belongs. For example, a document in invoices is different from a similarly named document in drafts. Use that context when deciding what to save. A combined ZIP download, when offered, packages the extracted files together for convenience; an individual download is more direct when you only need one item. Very large results may offer individual files instead of another combined package to avoid excessive browser memory use. Listing a file does not install it or make its contents safe to run.
Need a different result?
Have a .rar file instead? Use Extract RAR. For several numbered ZIP pieces, use Join ZIP Parts.
Frequently asked questions
What is inside a ZIP file?
A ZIP packages files and folders into one file. Opening it shows the individual items so you can choose what to save.
Can I save just one item from the ZIP?
Yes. Browse the file list and download the item you need rather than saving every file.
What if my download has .z01 and .zip pieces?
Those may belong to one split archive. Select the complete set in Join ZIP Parts instead.
Does opening a ZIP run the programs inside?
No. Listing and downloading the contents does not install them. Only open saved files you trust.
Why will an extracted file not open in my usual app?
Unpacking restores the file from its package; it does not convert it into a format your app understands. Check the saved item extension and choose an appropriate application. A source archive can also contain incomplete or damaged items. If the right app still cannot read a document, ask the sender for a known working copy rather than changing its name repeatedly.
