Asteria

ZIP to TXT

Turn ZIP archive files into Plain text files on your own Mac, Windows or Linux computer. Asteria is free, works offline, and never uploads your files.

How to do it

  1. Download Asteria and open it. It's free and needs no account.
  2. Drop your ZIP files onto its window, or press ⌘O (Ctrl O on Windows) to choose them. Drop as many as you like.
  3. Type list archive contentsand press Enter. List files in an archive as a .txt.
  4. Press ⌘↵ (Ctrl ↵ on Windows) to save. The TXT files appear next to the originals, which stay exactly as they were.

What it needs

Nothing. This conversion is built into Asteria, so it works the moment the app is open, even offline.

How it was tested

A real ZIP file was converted on macOS on Apple silicon and Linux, and the TXT that came out was opened and checked with listing names the archived file to make sure it is what it says it is.
