Got an archive you can't open? ZipChest opens it in one tap. ZipChest is a clean archive tool, and **every feature is open to everyone**. Unzip as much as you like — unlimited files, unlimited size, encrypted archives included, files on iCloud or any mounted cloud drive included. Packing, encrypting and choosing a format work the same way. No subscription, no countdown timers, no "you've used your two tries". UNZIP - Opens zip (including password-protected and ZIP64 archives), 7z (including AES-256 encrypted), tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, gz, bz2, xz, and iso disc images - Legacy non-UTF-8 file names decode correctly - Open archives right from Files, Mail, or any app's share sheet - Browse before extracting: see the file tree and sizes, tap any file for an instant preview - Extract everything with one tap, or select just the entries you need - Extract next to the archive, or pick any destination — including cloud drives mounted in Files - Live progress with cancel; malicious paths are blocked and cancelled jobs leave no half-written files PACK - Select files and folders, pack them into a zip — no limit on how many - **AES-256 encrypted zips** — password-protect contracts and photo packs - **7z output** - **Compression level 1–9** - All of the above are included. No purchase required. ABOUT ADS ZipChest is funded by a single banner at the bottom of the screen. If it gets in your way, the "Remove Ads" purchase takes it away for good — **it does not unlock any features, because every feature is already available**. Restore Purchases brings it back on a new device. PRIVACY Compression, extraction and encryption all happen on your device; your files are never uploaded to any server, and passwords live in memory only and are never stored. The app works normally in airplane mode — **only the banner at the bottom needs a connection**. ZipChest does not track you and never shows the "Allow tracking" prompt. Supported formats (this version): zip (plain/encrypted/ZIP64), 7z (plain/encrypted), tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, gz, bz2, xz, iso. More formats are on the way.
