Unzip while it downloads.
FlowUnzip is a Chrome extension that extracts ZIP and 7z archives the moment their bytes arrive, straight into the folder you choose. No archive left on disk. No separate unzip step.
Free for ZIPs up to 1 GB · Pro is $4.99, once
Download an archive, get a folder
FlowUnzip steps in when a ZIP or 7z download starts, and gets out of the way if anything doesn't work.
Download as usual
Click any ZIP or 7z link. FlowUnzip pauses the download and opens a small window.
Pick a folder
Choose where the files should go. FlowUnzip streams the archive and extracts each file as it arrives.
That's it
Your files are ready the moment the download finishes. If anything goes wrong, the normal download simply resumes.
Built for big downloads
Datasets, game mods, design assets, backups and software bundles in the gigabytes.
- No archive on diskOnly the extracted files are written, so a 4 GB archive never needs 8 GB of space.

- Survives dropped connectionsReconnects at the exact byte it stopped and carries on.
