Unzip Without Uploading to Server
Extract archives privately. Your files never leave your device — everything is processed locally in your browser.
Why It Matters
When you upload a file to extract it online, you're giving a copy of your data to a third party. For many files this doesn't matter, but for these it does: • Tax documents and financial records • Medical or legal documents • Work files under NDA • Personal photos and videos • Client deliverables • Source code and intellectual property • Anything you wouldn't email to a stranger
How tarpanda Stays Private
tarpanda runs a high-performance archive engine directly in your browser. When you open an archive: 1. The file is read into your browser's memory 2. The engine parses the archive structure 3. File contents are decompressed locally 4. Downloads come from your browser's memory, not a server No part of your file ever leaves your device. The tool works the same way whether you're online or offline.
Verification
Don't just take our word for it. You can verify: 1. Open browser Developer Tools (F12) 2. Go to the Network tab 3. Load a file into tarpanda 4. Observe: no file data is sent to any server The only network requests are the initial page load. After that, everything is local.
