I was amazed when I realized some people don’t know how to extract a file from a zipped file, well… this is a quick tip on how to extract a zip file using Xplore.

What does a zip file mean?

A zip file is a file that contains contents that have been compressed for either transmission or storage purpose.

Usually, a zip file ends with a file extension name of “.zip”. and to extract such files, you will require an application called x-plore. This app has been a long-serving servant since the days of Symbian phones. It works just fine when called upon, see the guide below on how to extract a zipped image, document, music, video and some other files with the .zip file extension mark.

Here is how to extract files from a zipped file using Xplore below… Firstly credits to Loneycatsgames for building such an amazing app. I’ve been a great fan of Xplore since the days of Symbian phones, it was and will still be one of my favourite apps cause it does a whole lot of work for me.

You can use other apps to extract a zip file, not just Xplore. ES File Explorer is also a very good alternative to Xplore on Android.

Here’s how to unzip / extract a zip file using X-plore on Android

Step 1: Download and Install X-plore

Download and install X-plore apk app via Google play store.

Step 3: Select file

Slide left or Click on the blue arrow on the top right to access the other pane of the app. (Dual pane features)

Step 4: Choose a folder to save the extracted file

Select where you want your file to be extracted in. (I selected “document” for mine)

Step 5: Go to the previous page

Shortly after selecting a folder, Slide right or tap on the blue arrow to go back to the previous section. (You don’t have to slide from one pane to another if you’re using a larger screen device such as a tablet)

Step 6: Select and hold down to copy

Select and hold down the folder or file inside the zip folder for about 2 secs. A panel will popup requiring you to select a command. (See image below)

Hold down the file to enable popup before selecting a command.

Step 7: Tap “OK” to confirm

Tap on okay. (Don’t tick “move mode” if you don’t want to delete the file from its zipped folder.)

Hold down the file to enable popup before selecting a command.

Step 8: Locate the file in the extracted folder

That’s all, just locate the extracted file through your phone file explorer/manager.

Your file will no longer be in zip format but in its original format before it was zipped.
