Upload. Visualize. Share. — Meet ZipTree
Unpacking ZIP files manually just to see what’s inside is slow and annoying — especially when you only need a quick glance at the folder structure for documentation, review, or debugging.
So I built ZipTree— a free online tool that turns any ZIP file into a clean, readable folder tree in seconds.
🚀 Why I Built This
As a developer, I often deal with codebases packed into ZIP files — from GitHub downloads, shared project folders, or exported AI-generated code. Every time, I had to unzip, open a code editor, and manually look through the file tree.
Then I thought…
Why not just view the structure directly — without extracting?
That's how ZipTree was born.
⚙️ How It Works
Just drag and drop (or upload) any .zip file. ZipTree will:
Read the file contents in your browser
Extract the folder hierarchy
Render it as a neat, VS Code-style tree view
project/
├── src/
│ ├── App.jsx
│ └── index.js
├── public/
│ └── index.html
└── package.json
No installs. No extractions. No hassle.
💡 Use Cases:
📂 Quickly inspect ZIP contents before extracting
📚 Great for code reviewers or educators
🔍 Perfect for adding folder trees to documentation or READMEs
🤖 Works well with AI-generated ZIP files
🧪 Use in tutorials, exercises, and technical blogs
✅ Why ZipTree?
100% free and browser-based
Works offline after load
No tracking or data uploads
Clean, copyable output
