ZIP is the most widely used archive format in the world, supported natively by Windows, macOS, and most Linux distributions. Created by Phil Katz in 1989, the ZIP format combines file compression with archiving, allowing multiple files and folders to be bundled into a single compressed package. ZIP files use the .zip extension and are recognized by virtually every operating system and application.
The ZIP format supports several compression methods, with DEFLATE being the most common. Modern ZIP files can also include AES encryption for password protection, making them suitable for sharing sensitive files. While Windows and macOS have built-in ZIP support, our online viewer provides additional features like file preview and selective extraction that native tools don't offer.
Our ZIP viewer is ideal when you want to quickly check the contents of a downloaded archive before extracting it. This is particularly useful for verifying downloads from the internet, checking that a ZIP contains the expected files, or previewing images and documents without extracting everything. It's also perfect for devices without full ZIP software, like Chromebooks or restricted work computers.
Developers often use ZIP viewers to inspect package contents, verify favicon packages, or check software distributions. Designers use them to preview asset bundles, and anyone receiving ZIP attachments can quickly verify contents before extraction. For creating your own ZIP archives, check out our Archive Creator tool.
