Batch Extract

Use this to extract files from many existing archives. Each archive is extracted to their own subfolder. Choose Batch Extract from the Tools menu, then follow the steps below:

1. Select the archive files which you would like to extract. Click the Add button to choose the files. You can repeat this as many times as necessary to add as many files as you want. To remove any file from the list, select it, then click the Remove button. Click the Next button to proceed.

2. Select the output folder where you want to place the extracted files. If you choose Use the same folder as the original file, the extracted files will be placed in the same folder as the original file. If you want all the extracted files to be placed in a folder of your choice, choose Folder, then enter the full path to the target folder. If the path you entered does not already exist, PicoZip will automatically create it for you. If you check the Extract each archive to a separate subfolder option, the contents of the extracted files will be placed in subfolders within the target folder you selected above. If you check the Restore original folders option, any stored folders in all the archives will be restored. If you check the Confirm file overwrites option, you will be prompted if the destination folder contains a file with the same name as the one being extracted. Click the Next button to proceed.

3. You will be shown the progress window which shows the current status of this batch operation. If you want to cancel this batch operation, click the Cancel button. Note that canceling a batch operation may take a while since PicoZip will complete its current task before stopping. All files up to the point you click Cancel would have been processed completely.

4. Once the batch operation is completed, you will be shown the results screen. You can click on the Copy to Clipboard button to copy the results to Windows clipboard, or click the Save to File button to save the results to a text file. Click the Close button to exit.

If you only want to extract files from a single archive, read this instead.
