Overview

This document describes the on-disk structure of a PKZip (Zip) file. The documentation currently only describes the file layout format and meta information but does not address the actual compression or encryption of the file data itself. This documentation also does not discuss Zip archives that span multiple files in great detail. This documentation was created using the official documentation provided by PKWare Inc.

General structure

Each Zip file is structured in the following manner:

The archive consists of a series of local file descriptors, each containing a local file header, the actual compressed and/or encrypted data, as well as an optional data descriptor. Whether a data descriptor exists or not depends on a flag in the local file header.

Following the file descriptors is the archive decryption header, which only exists in PKZip file version 6.2 or greater. This header is only present if the central directory is encrypted and contains information about the encryption specification. The archive extra data record is also only for file of version 6.2 or greater and is not present in all Zip files. It is used in to support the encryption or compression of the central directory.

The central directory summarizes the local file descriptors and carries additional information regarding file attributes, file comments, location of the local headers, and multi-file archive information.

Local file headers

Each local file header has the following structure:

Signature The signature of the local file header. This is always '\x50\x4b\x03\x04'.

Bits 11-15: hour
File modification date stored in standard MS-DOS format:

File name length the length of the file name field below
Extra field length the length of the extra field below
File name the name of the file including an optional relative path. All slashes in the path should be forward slashes '/'.
Extra field Used to store additional information. The field consistes of a sequence of header and data pairs, where the header has a 2 byte identifier and a 2 byte data size field.

Example

Our sample zip file starts with a local file header:

00000000  50 4b 03 04 14 00 00 00  08 00 1c 7d 4b 35 a6 e1  |PK.........}K5..|

00000030  55 78 04 00 f5 01 f5 01  0b c9 c8 2c 56 00 a2 92  |Ux.........,V...|

This results in the following fields and field values:

Signature '\x50\x4b\x03\x04'.
Version 0x14 = 20 -> 2.0

File modification time 0x7d1c = 0111110100011100

minute = 01111(101000)11100 = 40
second = 01111101000(11100) = 28 = 56 seconds 
15:40:56

Crc-32 checksum 0x7d90e1a6

Extra field length 21 bytes
File name "file1"
Extra field id 0x5455: extended timestamp, size: 9 bytes 
Id 0x7855: Info-ZIP UNIX, size: 4 bytes

Data descriptor

The data descriptor is only present if bit 3 of the bit flag field is set. In this case, the CRC-32, compressed size, and uncompressed size fields in the local header are set to zero. The data descriptor field is byte aligned and immediately follows the file data. The structure is as follows:

The example file does not contain a data descriptor.

Archive decryption header

This header is used to support the Central Directory Encryption Feature. It is present when the central directory is encrypted. The format of this data record is identical to the Decryption header record preceding compressed file data.

Archive extra data record

This header is used to support the Central Directory Encryption Feature. When present, this record immediately precedes the central directory data structure. The size of this data record will be included in the Size of the Central Directory field in the End of Central Directory record. The structure is as follows:

Central directory

The central directory contains more metadata about the files in the archive and also contains encryption information and information about Zip64 (64-bit zip archives) archives. Furthermore, the central directory contains information about archives that span multiple files. The structure of the central directory is as follows:

The file headers are similar to the local file headers, but contain some extra information. The Zip64 entries handle the case of a 64-bit Zip archive, and the end of the central directory record contains information about the archive itself.

Central directory file header

The structure of the file header in the central directory is as follows:

Signature The signature of the file header. This is always '\x50\x4b\x01\x02'.
