Inspect supported archives and package files locally. Read each operation’s accepted archive types and output notes before extracting or creating a ZIP.

## Is an archive the same as a converted document?

An archive packages files; it does not convert the documents inside it. Inspect filenames, folder paths and total expanded size. Unsupported encryption or resource limits can prevent extraction.
