About this tool

You need the password — this is not recovery or cracking

This tool removes encryption from a ZIP file only when you have the password. It does not crack, brute-force, guess, or recover forgotten passwords. If you've lost the password, this tool cannot help.

AES-256 encrypted ZIPs are decrypted and re-packed in your browser

Drop a password-protected ZIP and enter the password. The tool reads every file inside, decrypts it, and writes it into a new unencrypted ZIP. All of this happens in your browser — nothing is sent to a server. If you enter an incorrect password, decryption fails with "Wrong password or ZIP not encrypted."

The output is a standard ZIP with no encryption

Every file is copied verbatim — folder structure, timestamps, permissions, and content all stay the same. Directories are preserved. The only change is that anyone with the ZIP can open it immediately, without entering a password. This is useful when you want to share a ZIP that was encrypted for secure delivery, but the recipient doesn't need the protection anymore.

For other encrypted file types, use the File Decrypter

This tool works only on password-protected ZIPs. To decrypt other file formats, see File Decrypter. To add a password to an unencrypted ZIP, see Password-Protect a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about the Remove ZIP Password.

Can this recover or guess a password I forgot?

No. This tool requires you to provide the correct password. If you've lost the password, the encrypted ZIP cannot be recovered. This is by design — AES-256 encryption is intentionally strong and irreversible without the password.

What encryption methods does this work with?

AES-256 encrypted ZIPs, the modern standard for password-protected archives. The tool works with files created by WinRAR, 7-Zip, macOS Archive Utility, and similar tools. Very old or unusual encryption methods may not be supported.

What happens if I enter the wrong password?

The decryption fails and you'll see the error 'Wrong password or ZIP not encrypted.' The tool cannot guess, brute-force, or work around an incorrect password. You must provide the exact password.

Is my ZIP file processed on a server?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser. The ZIP file never leaves your computer — it's decrypted locally and repacked as a new unencrypted ZIP. Everything happens on your device.
