About UnzipIt

Last updated: August 20, 2026

What it does

UnzipIt is a browser-local archive extraction tool. It helps users open common archive formats and save extracted files without uploading archives to a server.

How it works

The app uses browser File APIs, a Web Worker, and WebAssembly-based archive processing. The heavy extraction work runs away from the main UI thread where possible.

On browsers that support it, extracted files can be saved directly into a user-selected local folder.

Current scope

The first version focuses on single-archive extraction, local processing, basic encrypted archive handling, single-file downloads, and direct folder saving where the browser allows it.

Cloud storage, user accounts, server-side scanning, and online sharing links are not part of the current product.
