Zip, unzip and extract archives right in your browser
File Tools is a set of free utilities for the everyday job of packing, unpacking and identifying files —
without installing software and without uploading anything. Use Zip Files to turn
a stack of documents, photos or a whole project folder into one tidy ZIP: drag folders straight from your
file manager, choose how hard to compress, and skip junk such as .DS_Store,
Thumbs.db or node_modules with simple exclude patterns. A progress bar shows how
far along the archive is, and the result tells you exactly how much space you saved.
Received a ZIP? Unzip Files opens it instantly, even when it is several gigabytes, because only the archive's table of contents is read at first. Browse the folder tree with sizes and dates, preview text files and images, and download just the files you need — or, in Chrome and Edge, extract everything into a folder of your choice. For everything that is not a plain ZIP, the Extract Archive tool uses libarchive compiled to WebAssembly to open 7z, RAR, TAR, TAR.GZ, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ISO disc images, CAB files and Linux packages, with support for password-protected ZIPs.
Find out what a file really is
File names can lie. The File Type Detector reads the first bytes of any file and matches them against well over a hundred magic-byte signatures to tell you the real format, its MIME type and the extensions it normally uses. It warns you when the extension does not match the contents — a renamed image is harmless, but a “PDF” that is really a Windows program is a classic malware trick — and shows a hex dump of the first 64 bytes for anyone who wants to check the details.
Every tool on this site runs 100% client-side. Your files are read from your own disk by your browser, processed on your own device and saved straight back to your downloads folder, so contracts, photos and source code never leave your computer. Once a page has loaded it keeps working even without an internet connection, and there are no accounts, watermarks or file-count limits.
