MacOS

Users can open ZIP files on a Mac in two ways. Selecting Quick Look from the drop menu only returns the total file size and its last modification date. Note that the macOS file manager Finder cannot preview ZIP file contents without third-party software.

  • Double-click the ZIP file. This prompts the macOS Archive Utility tool to unzip the file and create a folder of the same name in the current directory. The ZIP file automatically persists.
  • Right-click the ZIP file. Then select either Open or Open With from the drop menu. Selecting Open prompts the Archive Utility tool in the same manner as double-clicking. If you want to open the ZIP file with third-party software, you can select Open With to change the default application.

Andriod

Since 2017, Android has provided native ZIP file support and other file management tools in the Files by Google app. Users can open ZIPs on Android phones in five steps.

  • Open Files by Google.
  • Scroll to locate the ZIP you want to open or tap Browse to search larger directories for files by name.
  • Tap the ZIP file to preview its contents.
  • Tap Extract to unzip the file.
  • If you wish to delete the ZIP file, select Delete ZIP file. Otherwise, click Done to create a folder of the same name.
