How to unzip text files ?

Let's learn 

Unzipping a font file on a mobile phone is actually quite simple! The process depends on your phone's operating system and the file manager app you're using. Here are the general steps for both Android and iOS:

​

Android:

​

  1. Install a File Manager App (if needed): Most Android phones come with a built-in file manager, but some might not. If you don't have one, download and install a reliable app like Files by Google, Solid Explorer, or MiXplorer.

  2. Locate the ZIP file: Open the file manager app and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the zipped font file.

  3. Tap and Hold the ZIP file: This will usually bring up a context menu with various options.

  4. Select "Extract" or "Unzip": Depending on the app, you might see different options like "Extract to" or "Unzip here." Choose the one that extracts the contents of the ZIP file.

  5. Choose the Destination Folder (optional): Some apps might ask you to choose a specific folder to extract the files into. If you don't specify, it will likely be extracted to the same folder as the ZIP file.

  6. Wait for the Extraction to Finish: Once you confirm the extraction, the app will process the ZIP file and extract the font files. This might take a few seconds depending on the size of the file.

  7. Find the extracted font files: The extracted font files will usually be in TTF, OTF, or TTC format. You can find them in the chosen destination folder.

​

iOS:

​

  1. Download the ZIP file: If you haven't already, download the ZIP file containing the font to your iPhone or iPad. You can do this through a web browser, email, or file-sharing app.

  2. Open the Files App: The Files app comes pre-installed on all iPhones and iPads. It's your main hub for accessing and managing files.

  3. Locate the ZIP file: In the Files app, navigate to the folder where you downloaded the ZIP file.

  4. Tap and Hold the ZIP file: This will bring up a context menu with various options.

  5. Select "Quick Look": This will allow you to preview the contents of the ZIP file without actually extracting it.

  6. Tap and Hold the Font File: Inside the Quick Look preview, tap and hold the font file (usually TTF, OTF, or TTC format).

  7. Select "Share" or "Copy": Choose the option to share the font file with another app or copy it to another location.

  8. Install the Font (optional): If you want to use the font in apps like Pages or Keynote, you can share it directly with those apps and install it. Sharing with Fonts app or similar font management apps is also an option.

​

Additional Tips:

​

  • Some apps like Pixellab or iFont have built-in unzipping and font installation capabilities. You can try using these apps if your preferred file manager doesn't offer the functionality.

  • Make sure you download the font file from a trusted source to avoid malware or security risks.

  • Different font formats might require specific apps for installation on your phone. Research the appropriate method for your chosen font format.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have any further questions about unzipping font files on your mobile device.
