About This Tool
ZIP Extractor reads one ZIP archive, lists its non-folder entries, and lets you save extracted files individually. It is intended for inspecting and retrieving files from ordinary readable ZIP packages.
What You Can Do
Archive entry listing
Show each non-directory entry after extraction.
Individual downloads
Save an extracted file by its listed entry.
Browser-local reading

Practical Use Cases
Downloaded archive review
Inspect a ZIP received from a trusted source before retrieving its contents.
Selective retrieval
Download one needed item rather than repackaging the whole archive.
Privacy and File Processing
ZIP Extractor keeps its ZIP input in browser memory while the operation runs. The workflow creates Individual extracted files for local preview or download and does not send the entered values or selected file bytes to the GXA Toolbox application server.
Supported Inputs and Outputs
Input
- ZIP
Output
- Individual extracted files
How It Works
JSZip parses the selected ZIP in the browser and exposes each non-directory entry as a Blob for individual download. The interface does not write files directly to your disk.

Limitations and Important Notes
- Password-protected or unsupported ZIP compression methods may fail to open.
- Corrupt archives can fail during parsing or extraction.
- The current interface skips directory entries and does not provide a download-all archive action.
Worked Example
Open a ZIP with images and text files, review the entry list, and save only the needed document.
Helpful Tips
- Treat archives from untrusted sources carefully, especially executable content.
- Keep the source ZIP until all required files have been saved and verified.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract one file?
Yes. Each listed non-folder entry has its own Save action.
Can this open password-protected ZIP files?
The current interface does not provide a password entry flow, so encrypted archives may not open.
Are folders shown as files?
Directory entries are skipped; listed file names can still include their archive path.
