Install ZIP Extractor

Last updated: 2026-04-23

ZIP Extractor runs in your browser. There's no EXE or DMG to download. Installing connects ZIP Extractor to your Google account so you can open and create archives in Google Drive and Gmail.

Install from Google Workspace Marketplace

Install ZIP Extractor from the Google Workspace Marketplace listing.

You'll be asked to grant permissions so ZIP Extractor can open archives in Google Drive and Gmail. The FAQ covers which scopes are requested and what each one does.

Once installed, ZIP Extractor shows up in Google Drive and Gmail. In Drive, right-click a ZIP and choose Open with > ZIP Extractor. In Gmail, open an attachment and choose Open in ZIP Extractor.

For Workspace admins

Workspace admins can install ZIP Extractor for an entire domain from the Google Workspace Marketplace. You'll be prompted to confirm the security scopes (permissions), which are documented in the FAQ.

If your organization restricts third-party apps, you'll first need to allowlist ZIP Extractor in the Google Admin console.

Why no "download"?

ZIP Extractor is a web app. All extraction and archive creation happens in your browser, not on a server. That's why there's no traditional desktop installer, and why the Workspace Marketplace "install" is really just a connection to your Google account.
