Files never leave your browser

This ZIP is password-protected. Honest answer: encrypted ZIPs can’t be opened in-browser, the JavaScript ZIP engine doesn’t support decryption, and we’ll never upload your archive to a server to work around that. Use 7-Zip, WinRAR or your OS archiver instead.

Why zip & unzip in the browser?

Online "unzip" sites upload your archive to their servers, risky for contracts, source code or personal photos. Digital Heroes opens and builds ZIP files entirely on your own device, works offline, and lets you preview text and images before extracting anything. One honest limit: password-protected (encrypted) ZIPs can’t be opened in-browser, for those, use a desktop archiver like 7-Zip.
