Key Features Explained

Direct ZIP File Selection: Easily select your .zip file using the file input. The `accept=".zip"` attribute helps filter for the correct file type.
Client-Side Extraction Engine: Powered by the robust JSZip library, all decompression tasks are handled securely within your browser's environment.
Individual File Download Links: After processing, the tool lists each file found within the archive (excluding directories) and provides a separate download button for every file. This allows you to grab only the specific files you need.
Blob URLs for Direct Downloads: Uses URL.createObjectURL to generate temporary, secure links (Blob URLs) for downloading the extracted files directly from your browser's memory.
Progress Indication: A "Processing..." message lets you know the tool is working after you click the "Unzip File" button.
Clear Results Display: Extracted files are listed neatly, making it easy to find and download what you need. The results area includes scrolling for archives with many files.
Error Handling: Provides informative messages if the selected file is not a ZIP, if the archive is corrupted, password-protected (which is not supported), or if other issues occur during processing.
Wide Compatibility: Handles standard ZIP archives created with common compression methods like DEFLATE.

How to Use the Online Unzip File Tool

Extracting files is a simple, three-step process:

Select ZIP File: Click the "Choose File" button and select the .zip archive you want to extract from your computer or device.
Initiate Extraction: Click the "Unzip File" button. You'll see a "Processing..." message while the tool reads and decompresses the archive.
Download Extracted Files: Once processing is complete, a list of the files inside the ZIP (excluding folders) will appear. Each file will have its own "Download" button. Click the button next to the file you wish to save. Repeat for any other files you need.

Important Considerations & Limitations

Browser Performance: Extraction speed and the ability to handle very large ZIP files depend on your browser's capabilities and your device's available memory (RAM). Extremely large archives might cause slowdowns or errors.
No Password Support: This tool cannot open password-protected or encrypted ZIP archives.
Standard Compression Only: While it supports the common DEFLATE method, ZIP files created with less common or proprietary compression algorithms may not extract correctly.
Directories Not Listed: The tool focuses on file extraction; empty directories or the folder structure itself are not listed for download. Files are listed with their full path within the archive.

Common Use Cases

Opening ZIP attachments from emails on devices without unzip software.
Extracting specific files from a larger archive without downloading the whole thing first (if downloaded via another method).
Quickly accessing resources like fonts, images, or documents bundled in a ZIP.
Using it on Chromebooks or tablets where installing desktop software isn't straightforward.
