This browser doesn't support the folder-open dialog, so the standard folder picker is used. Files are read only on your device.
Viewer pages by format
Popular formats have their own page. Whichever page you are on, files of any other supported format open just the same.

A ZIP has to be extracted before you can see what's in it, and with a several-hundred-megabyte archive you first worry about disk space. This page lists the contents of ZIP, TAR, TGZ, and ZIP-based APK, JAR, and IPA without extracting, and opens viewable files — photos, PDFs, documents, video — right from the archive.
How to use it
- 1Click 'Choose ZIP files' or drop an archive onto the page. TAR, TGZ, APK, and JAR work too.
- 2A list of names, sizes, and dates appears. Click 'Expand and view' and the viewable files join the viewer list under an 'archive.zip/…' folder.
- 3Flip through them with ← →. When you need the files themselves, pick and save them in the Unzip tool.
How it works
For ZIP only the central directory at the end is read to build the list (zip.js), and each file is sliced and inflated only when viewed, so a 1 GB archive uses almost no memory. Names are tried as UTF-8 first and then EUC-KR (archives from Korean Windows), so Korean file names don't garble. TAR and TGZ are gunzipped with the browser's built-in decompressor and their headers (ustar, GNU, pax) parsed in-house.
Files are read inside the browser only and never sent anywhere. Close the tab and nothing remains.
Limits
Password-protected entries are listed but won't open (no password entry). Entries over 300 MB are skipped when expanding. RAR, 7z, and ALZip (EGG, ALZ) aren't supported yet. Nested archives open one level only.
Good for
Checking what's in a ZIP you were emailed, pulling just the photos you need from a bundle, and browsing resource lists inside APK and JAR files.
Frequently asked questions
Can I extract and save?+
This page is view-only. The Unzip tool lets you pick files from the list and save them, or extract everything (also with no upload).
Korean file names are garbled.+
ZIPs made on Korean Windows are read as EUC-KR automatically. If names still garble, the archive may use another encoding such as Japanese Shift_JIS.
What about RAR?+
Not supported yet. Extract with a tool such as Bandizip or repack as ZIP.
