Supported inputs and limits
Where your input is processed
This tool processes your input in this browser. Your text and files are not uploaded to UseFreeTools. Check this tool's limits for anything it may save on your device.
Archive structure is not a safety scan
The reader checks supported ZIP structure, actual expansion and integrity within its limits. An extracted file can still contain unwanted content. Encrypted archives, ZIP64 and other unsupported structures are refused instead of guessed. Keep the original archive and review individual files with the application that will consume them before sharing or opening them.
