Fix garbled ZIP file names

When a ZIP was made on another system, non-Latin file names often show up as mojibake like «ì¸ë¬¸». Pullzip detects the old code page (CP949, Shift-JIS, GBK, Big5, CP866/1251), rewrites the names as UTF-8, and gives you a fixed ZIP that opens correctly everywhere — the file data and CRCs are left untouched.

Questions

Why are the names garbled?

Old ZIP files store names in a regional code page such as CP949, not UTF-8, so they break when opened elsewhere.

Does it change the contents?

No. Only the names are rewritten to UTF-8; data, CRCs and encryption are copied as-is.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Everything is processed in your browser.
