Frequently Asked Questions

Extracted Chinese filenames are mojibake — why?
The classic encoding clash: ZIPs created on Windows encode names in GBK, which turns to garbage when read as UTF-8. This tool handles the standard cases and outputs sanitized names; for stubborn archives, extract on the system that created them.
Can it open password-protected ZIPs?
Encrypted ZIP is not supported. Use your system’s extractor for those — browser-side decryption adds little (someone still types the password), so the effort focuses on big-file and privacy scenarios.
What are the limits on large archives?
To prevent zip bombs (a tiny ZIP exploding into gigabytes), safety caps apply: 50 MB input, 500 MB total extraction, 100 MB per file, 2,000 entries max. Beyond that, use system tools or split volumes.
