How to Extract from/Fix corrupted zip files tutorial

It is very uncommon that a zip archive gets corrupted but when it happens it is impossible to extract any content from zip files not even those uncorrupted files inside zip or self-extracting archives. If you are in such situation where you need to fix or repair corrupted zip files then here is freeware tool Zip2Fix which can help you in extracting partial content from corrupted zip or sfx files.

I'm going toshow you how you can extract files from a corrupted zip archive. I also consider this to be a "fix" because it creates a new archive with the files that aren't corrupted.

1. Download zip2fix. You can get it here.

2. Now that you downloaded it, extract the file and then run it . No need to install It's portable ;)

3. Now, just click "Open", and browse to the corrupted .zip file you want to extract from.

4. As soon as you open the corrupted zip file, zip2fix will automatically start scanning the archive and detect which files are actually corrupted.

5. It will also make a seperate zip file with the files that aren't corrupted so you can extract those later.

Thas it. Now, just extract your files from the new archive that was created.
