How to use ZIP File Inspector and Extractor

  1. Load the working example or provide your own input.
  2. Review the format options, then select Convert on server to process the input.
  3. Check the result and download the output file.

What this tool does

Inspect a small ZIP before downloading a particular entry. Leave the path field blank to receive a JSON list of filenames and declared sizes, then copy an exact entry path into the field to extract that one file. Extraction returns the file bytes as a download and never recreates the archive’s directory tree on server storage.

Supported formats and limits

Encrypted archives are rejected. The ZIP must be no larger than 4 MiB, contain at most one thousand entries and declare at most 64 MiB of expanded contents. A selected entry must stay within 4 MiB while streaming. The listing is metadata, not a full integrity or malware scan; unselected file contents are not decompressed. Directories cannot be downloaded as individual files. Treat downloaded contents according to their original file type.

What should I check before using the result?

Encrypted archives are rejected.

Is input uploaded?

This tool sends input to this site’s conversion API after you select Convert on server. Files use bounded workers and, when needed, private temporary folders deleted after processing or cancellation. No conversion history is saved. The converter does not upload files to a third-party conversion service.
