ezyZip is a free web app for converting zip to a ZI file, enabling it to be opened with a standard file extractor (present in most operating systems). No need to install additional software as it runs in the browser. It supports a bunch of other file extraction and file conversion options too.

Unlike other online zip conversion utilities, ezyZip does not require you to upload or download files to a server. It runs locally as a browser app, thus making it much quicker than other similar online conversion tools. There are no usage limits! This also helps protect your privacy, because your files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded. All common file compression formats (and most uncommon) are supported.

A .zi file is basically the same as a standard zip file but with a different file extension. It's used for packaging and compressing multiple files and folders into a single file, for easy backup and distribution.
