About this tool
Before extracting an archive it is often useful to know what is in it: how many files, how large they are once unpacked, and whether anything looks wrong. This tool reads the archive's directory and shows every entry without decompressing a single byte.
The listing can also be downloaded as CSV, which is handy for comparing two archives or recording what a delivery contained.

How to use it
- Choose a .zip file. Its contents are listed straight away.
- Read through the entries on the page.
- Select Convert to download the listing as a CSV file.
Limitations
- Only the archive directory is read, so file contents are neither checked nor verified. A listed entry could still be damaged.
- Sizes come from the archive's own records. A malformed archive can misreport them.
- Only ZIP is supported. RAR, 7z, TAR, and GZIP are not.
- Encrypted entries are listed, but their contents cannot be inspected.
- Timestamps are stored in local time by most archiving tools, without a timezone, so they are shown as recorded.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my archive uploaded?
- No. The archive is read entirely in your browser. It never leaves your device and no request carrying its contents is made.
- Why is this faster than extracting?
- A ZIP file ends with a directory listing every entry. Reading it means reading a small part of the file, so even a very large archive lists almost instantly.
- What does a blocked status mean?
- The entry cannot be extracted, either because it is encrypted or because its stored path points outside the archive. It is still listed so you can see the archive in full.
- What is the expansion warning about?
- An archive that unpacks to hundreds of times its own size is characteristic of one built to exhaust memory rather than to store files. The warning is a prompt to check the listing before extracting.
