Before opening or sharing a ZIP archive, inspect the file count, folders, paths, extensions, and size distribution locally, then preview only safe text snippets. Extract or repack only after checking that filenames, paths, and snippets do not expose customer names, internal project names, tokens, backups, or sensitive folders.

Common lookup scenarios
See what files and folders are inside a ZIP before extracting
Check whether archive paths reveal customer names, project codes, phone numbers, or internal directories
Preview TXT, JSON, CSV, Markdown, XML, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript snippets inside the archive
Extract one target file instead of expanding the whole folder
Repack local files for sharing and compare input and output size
Use file signature, extension lookup, and size conversion to review suspicious entries
Recommended workflow
- Start with the ZIP archive viewer to inspect entry count, folder count, extension distribution, and the first visible paths
- Use ZIP text preview only for common text files and avoid binary or very large previews
- If internal paths, backups, tokens, customer names, or system files appear, clean the local source folder and repack
- When one file is needed, use ZIP file extractor to match by exact path or keyword and download that single entry
- Before sharing, cross-check file signatures, extension meanings, size units, and cleaned filenames
- Do not expose real archive filenames, paths, contents, or extraction results as public result URLs, sitemap entries, or llms.txt examples

Does Chakan upload my ZIP archive?
No. ZIP inspection, text preview, single-file extraction, and packing run in the browser, and archive-derived user content is not added to public sitemap URLs.
Why not extract the whole archive at once?
Browsers cannot safely write an entire folder silently, and bulk extraction increases accidental exposure. The current workflow focuses on file lists, text preview, and one-file extraction.
