ZipitAll

Compress, decompress and preview archives directly from VS Code.

Supports .zip, .vsix, .crx (v3), .asar, .tgz, .gzip, .br, .tar, .bz2, .7z.

This extension is based on vscode-archive by YuTengjing.

Features

Decompress

Decompress .zip, .vsix, .crx (v3), .asar, .tgz, .gzip, .br, .tar, .bz2, .7z — right-click any archive in the explorer and select Decompress Here.

Smart Flatten

Automatically flattens redundant top-level folders that share the archive name, avoiding unnecessary nesting:

Before: archive.zip → archive/ → archive/ → files...
After:  archive.zip → archive/ → files...

Enabled by default. Disable via the zipitall.smartFlatten setting.

Compress
