Open a ZIP file on your phone

ZIP files from email, cloud links or work portals are awkward on phones, especially when you need just one document out of many.

Extract ZIP opens the archive in your browser, lists what's inside, and lets you download individual files. Nothing is uploaded.

Example: an accountant emails a ZIP with twelve PDFs, and you only need last year's tax summary. Open the ZIP here on your phone, find the file in the list, and download just that one, without installing a file manager app. Because files in folders are listed with their folder path in the name, you can tell two files called summary.pdf apart. If you later need all the files on a computer, you can download the whole set at once instead. Remember that downloaded files take up space on your phone, so remove copies you no longer need.

Archives up to 100 MB can be opened. Damaged archives return an error rather than partial files, and files with unsafe paths are refused. Be careful with ZIPs from unknown senders: extracting is safe in the browser, but opening programs or documents from untrusted sources is not.
