How to unzip files or extract files after I download a product?

Your product is downloaded but it won't open until the files have been "extracted". The files are in a compressed state to make it easier to download. To extract or unzip files enables you to resave the files in a different format.


For Windows

  1. Right-click the zipped folder
  2. Select Extract All
  3. Choose a location to save the extracted files
  4. Click Extract


For Mac

  1. Double-click the zipped file
  2. The unzipped item will appear in the same folder as the zipped file


For Google Files

  1. Select the zipped file
  2. A pop-up will appear showing the file's contents
  3. Select Extract all
