  • Supports ZIP, CBZ, TAR, and TAR.GZ/TGZ containers
  • Per-file size and compressed-size display
  • Download individual entries or the whole archive
  • Works with large archives — files inflate on demand

Frequently asked questions

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?
ZIP, comic-book CBZ, Java JAR (a ZIP under the hood), TAR, and TAR.GZ/TGZ. RAR, 7z, and CAB 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.
Is there a file count or size limit?
No hard limit; very large archives are bounded by your device's memory.
