ZIP Reader

View & extract any zip file via an easy-to-use UI right in your browser!

ZIP Reader is a user-friendly Chrome extension that allows you to quickly view and extract contents from any ZIP file without leaving your browser. Simply drag and drop a ZIP file into the designated area at the top of the interface, and all files within the archive are instantly displayed for easy access. You can download individual files or extract all contents collectively into a single folder.

This extension focuses on the extraction (reading) of ZIP files using an open-source JavaScript library, ensuring reliability and speed. While ZIP Reader doesn't support zipping files, it excels in providing a straightforward solution for unzipping multiple files one at a time, making it an essential tool for users who frequently work with compressed archives. Reload functionality and clear UI ensure a smooth user experience. For more information or to report bugs, users can visit the add-on's homepage.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ZIP Reader does not require any sensitive permissions.

    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious.
