How to Extract ZIP files

Back to Help Page

IMPORTANT: If you do not extract ZIP files before trying to use, open, or print the files, then you’ll likely get ‘read-only’ issues and other technical problems.

  • ZIP files end with .zip on the end. They usually look different from regular folder files, like this on Windows:
  • To extract the .zip file, find the file in your downloaded location (usually using something like File Explorer)
  • Right-click the file > Extract all… (if on Mac double-left click should extract by default)
  • Leave the pop-up settings as default and click Extract
  • A new folder will be created with all the files extracted. You can open this folder and use the files as normal.
