- It will then commence saving files and subfolders into the target you specified
With ezyZip you can unzip password protected files. Navigate to the unzip password protected files page and follow the instructions.

- Click on "List by folder" to go back to folder view.
- Click on the Dropbox logo () in the zip file selector button.

Why client-side UNZIP extraction is faster for large files
ezyZip extracts UNZIP files using a streaming WebAssembly engine optimized for large archives. Here is why local extraction handles big files better:
- Direct Disk StreamingExtracted content writes directly to disk through FileSystemWritableFileStream, bypassing memory buffering entirely so extraction speed scales with disk I/O. This means even archives larger than your available RAM can be extracted without issues.
- Responsive ProcessingThe extraction engine runs in Web Workers on separate threads, keeping your browser responsive during CPU-intensive decompression. Real-time progress indicators show per-file extraction status so you always know how far along the operation is.
- Instant StartServer-based tools must receive your entire upload before extraction begins — local processing starts immediately from your filesystem. The difference is most noticeable with large archives where upload time alone can exceed the entire local extraction duration.
- Structure PreservationDirectory structures, character encodings, and file timestamps are preserved accurately through direct local filesystem access. Unicode filenames, deeply nested folders, and special characters are handled correctly without the encoding issues common in server-side processing.
