A file tree is only the beginning

An export might include several CSVs, JSON files with nested records, a workbook, and media. Their filenames do not necessarily tell you which contents belong together. Unwrap lists the archive’s contents in Files and highlights useful starting points in Overview.

Unwrap reads the ZIP in your browser without uploading its contents. See privacy for how the site handles other requests.
