How to remove a known ZIP password

  1. Open the protected ZIP

    Choose from your device, paste a file or try the sample. File processing stays in this tab.

  2. Enter its current password and review files

    Search names, select the files to keep and check the output format and password options.

  3. Build and save an unencrypted ZIP

    Build checks the selected files and prepares the result. Check its exact size, then choose Save.

Removing a password means rebuilding

The tool decrypts the selected entries with your current password and writes them into a new ZIP without encryption. The original protected ZIP is not overwritten.

A visible file list is not proof of access

An ordinary encrypted ZIP exposes filenames before decryption. If the supplied password is wrong, extraction and rebuilding fail. Seeing the files in the list does not mean the tool has bypassed the encryption.

The new copy needs different care

Anyone with the saved unencrypted ZIP can read its contents. Check where your browser saves it before you share it. Removing ZIP encryption does not remove a password set inside a PDF or Office document.

Your archive workspace, control by control

Create, Open & extract, Convert and Password

Use the mode buttons to choose the job. Create bundles your original inputs. Other modes read one supported archive and work with its contents. Switching modes keeps the source available; Clear removes it.

Choose, search and select

The file menu offers a picker, paste and From your phone. Add more brings in more inputs in Create. For an existing archive, Open another replaces the source. Search filters paths in the contents list. Select all selects visible entries; clearing the search reveals files outside the filter. Check the selected count before building.

Output format, compression and name

Choose ZIP for general sharing, TAR for an uncompressed bundle or TAR.GZ for a gzip-compressed tarball. ZIP offers Store, Fast, Balanced and Smaller compression. Name your output in the name field. Building prepares the output and shows its actual byte size. Changing the selection or settings requires a fresh build.

Current password and new password

Current password opens encrypted source entries. A new password protects the output ZIP with AES-256. Add and Remove choose the password action. Remove requires the known current password and creates an unencrypted copy. TAR and TAR.GZ outputs cannot carry ZIP encryption.

Build, Cancel, Save and Clear

Build archive prepares the chosen result and shows its size. Open & extract uses Prepare files instead. Cancel stops that work. Save in the file bar saves the prepared output. Open in and Share use the same result. Clear returns to the empty state and clears password fields. Try sample lets you explore without opening your own files.

Narrow, Wide or Full

Use Narrow, Wide or Full at the top right of the tool to choose its space. Open another tool keeps this workspace on the desk. A page reload loses the files held in this tab.

What this tool will not do

It cannot crack passwords, repair damaged archives or open RAR, 7z, split archives or TAR.XZ. It does not execute files, scan for malware or preserve a Unix filesystem backup. Inputs and expanded contents have explicit memory limits. Use a desktop archiver for those jobs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I remove a ZIP password without knowing it?

No. This tool requires the current password. It does not guess, crack or recover passwords. Ask the sender or use a copy you can already open.

What if different files have different passwords?

This workspace uses one current password for the operation. If entries require different passwords, process compatible selections separately or use a desktop archiver.

Does this unlock password-protected PDFs inside the ZIP?

No. ZIP encryption and a document’s own password are separate layers. The document bytes stay unchanged, including any protection inside them.
