What it does

- Drop the archive (enter its password if asked), or drop files to zip.
- Download single files, everything, or your new zip.
Questions people ask
Can it open RAR files?
Yes, including RAR5, using the 7-Zip engine.
Can Windows open the password zip?
AES-256 zips open in 7-Zip, WinRAR, macOS Archive Utility and most modern tools, but not Windows’ built-in unzip.
Is there a size limit?
Only your device’s memory; archives of a few hundred MB are fine on most computers.
Is Unzip & zip files on ActuallyFreeTools really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no daily limit, no watermark and no paid tier. Nothing is held back for paying users.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Unzip & zip files runs inside your browser, so your files are processed on your own device and never sent to a server. That is also why there is nothing to meter or charge for.
