Why isn’t ZipXtract on Google Play?
ZipXtract is published by its developer on GitHub, and is also available through IzzyOnDroid.
Is ZipXtract safe?
ZipXtract is open source under the GPL-3.0 license, and this page links to the official release from the developer's GitHub repository. The app needs storage permission to read and write your files (Manage External Storage on Android 11 and up), but it does not request internet access, so file processing stays on your device. ZipXtract comes straight from its developer rather than through Google Play, so it hasn’t gone through Google’s app review. As with any app, check the permissions it asks for and install it if you’re comfortable with them.
How to install
- Tap the download button above: the APK file downloads straight to your phone.
