What this viewer does
- Full folder-tree browser for the archive contents
- Open individual files in the matching viewer (image, text, PDF, etc.) without extracting everything
- Per-file size and compressed-size display
- Download individual entries or the whole archive
- Works with large archives — files inflate on demand
How it's rendered
JSZip. Reads the ZIP central directory and inflates individual entries on demand, locally.
Nothing about this file is ever sent to a server — open your browser's DevTools Network tab while using this viewer and you'll see no request carrying your file's contents.
100% Private
Files never leave your device. There is no server that ever receives your file's contents.
No Uploads
Every format is decoded and rendered locally via WebAssembly or JavaScript. Open your browser's Network tab and confirm nothing is sent.
No Storage
Nothing is written to a server or database. Memory clears the moment you close or reload the tab.
GDPR-friendly by design
There's no file data collection to comply with in the first place — no account, no tracking of file contents, no analytics on what you view.
Archive (ZIP) viewer — FAQ
Do I have to extract the whole archive first?
No — browse the file tree and open just the entries you need. Nothing is written to disk until you choose to download.
What archive formats are supported?
Standard .zip and comic-book .cbz archives. RAR and 7z are not currently supported due to licensing on their compression algorithms.
Can I preview an image or PDF inside the archive?
Yes — click an entry and it opens inline using the matching viewer for that file type.
Is the archive uploaded anywhere?
No, it's read and inflated entirely in your browser with JSZip.
Is there a file count or size limit?
No hard limit; very large archives are bounded by your device's memory.
