    without downloading them (client side)

    if they’re client side they must be downloaded

      Yeah these statements don’t align.

      Extractify.zip is open source progressive web app (PWA) website to view and extract zip files online without downloading them (client side).

      Directly conflicts with

      • Sandbox mode to prevent malicious files. (use WebAssembly to extract files and don’t use any server side code)
      • Don’t need to upload your files to server. (work offline)

      This just doesn’t make sense.

        I interpreted it as a wording issue on the “without downloading them” referring to you work locally - which matches “(client side)” as well.

      I think it means to the file system. As in they only ever exist inside the browser sandbox in memory. This should be completely safe.

      So you don’t have to download them and drag to the browser. It requests the data and processes it in the browser environment.
