Enter the correct password to decrypt a ZIP file and rebuild a password-free ZIP archive for download.
What is the ZIP password remover?
The ZIP password remover helps you quickly remove password protection from an encrypted ZIP archive. If you are tired of entering the password every time you open your own encrypted archive, or you want to share files without exposing the password, this utility can use the original password you provide to decrypt the contents safely and rebuild them as a normal ZIP file that opens directly.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this utility without knowing the original password?
No. This utility is not a password cracking tool. It works only after you provide the correct password and authorize the process, then it performs a decrypt and rebuild operation for you. If the password has been forgotten, the utility cannot remove the protection.
Will my files be uploaded to a server for decryption?
No. From reading to decryption and rebuilding, all work is completed inside your local browser memory, and neither file contents nor passwords are uploaded to any cloud server. This local workflow helps reduce privacy risks as much as possible.
Why can large files feel slow during processing?
Removing a password usually means decrypting the internal files into memory first and then packaging everything again. If the ZIP file is several gigabytes in size, the browser will need more CPU and memory, so processing can feel slower or take longer. For large archives, it helps to close other tabs and work in smaller batches when possible.
