How to unzip files online?

Sometimes, you would want to extract a zip/rar file where the system doesn’t have the zip utility installed. It so happens when you browse in Internet cafe or when you use your friend’s computer.

Also there are situations you might not want to download and unzip the file as it may contains exe/dll files that contains virus.

In such cases, you need not worry, as there is a service exists called WobZip. WobZip allows you to unzip the files both from your local machine and from a URL. You can use this to extract any file of size not more than 100 MB. It extracts the file and check for virus using Bitedefender.

Screenshots of WobZip are below

    very interesting service. Many times I wanted to unzip a file where I cant install winzip/rar due to restrictions.

    This service is going to help me in a lot.
