Frequently asked questions
Is my ZIP file uploaded?
No. The file is read by your browser and shown on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, and it is gone when you close the tab.
How do I open a ZIP file without installing software?
Drop the .zip file on this page. It opens straight away in the ZIP & Archive Viewer, on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone alike.
What if my ZIP file doesn't open?
The viewer checks the file's content, not just its name. If it is damaged or not really a ZIP file, you'll see an error or can switch to the hex view to look at the raw bytes.
