Frequently Asked Questions
- Is it safe to use this extension? Where are my files processed?
Yes, it’s safe. All processing happens locally within your Chrome browser. Files are not uploaded to any servers; your data stays on your device.
- Do I need to install additional software to use this extension?
No. This extension is a self-contained tool for unpacking archives directly in your Chrome browser. No other programs are needed.
- What archive formats does this extension support?
The extension supports various formats: .zip, .7z, .rar, .tar, .bzip2, .bz2, .gzip, .gz, .xz, .zstd, .zst, .xar, .wim
- Is there a size limit for the archives I can extract?
The extension itself doesn’t impose a fixed size limit, but the actual maximum size you can extract reliably depends heavily on your computer’s available RAM, Chrome’s stability with large operations, your storage space, and the complexity of the archive. For small to medium-sized archives, it works as advertised. For very large archives (e.g., >1-2GB), dedicated desktop software is generally more reliable.
- Why the description text says “No size restrictions”?
This is meant to contrast with some online unzip services that do enforce strict file size limits (e.g., 100MB, 500MB). The extension avoids those specific service-imposed limits since processing happens locally. However, it doesn’t magically remove the fundamental limitations of browser-based processing and local hardware.
- Do I need to download the entire archive to my computer before extracting?
Not necessarily. A key feature is extracting files directly in the browser. The archive doesn’t need to be saved elsewhere first.
- Will this extension slow down my Chrome browser?
The extension is positioned as lightweight (“lightweight design”) and designed not to slow down your browser
- What happens to the extracted files after I close the browser tab?
Extracted files are typically available for download to your computer or temporarily stored in the browser’s memory/cache and deleted after the session. Since processing is local, files don’t remain in the cloud”.
- Does the extension have appearance settings (themes)?
Yes. The text mentions a Dark/light toggle theme and a Primary color settings toggle button.
- Does the extension require an internet connection to work?
Since processing happens locally, the core extraction features likely do not require a constant internet connection after installation. However, initial installation and working with files from the internet (not local disk) would require a connection.
