Unzipping Downloaded Files
Updated Nov 6, 2026
Most Master Library products download as a single ZIP file. To unzip it, double-click it on a Mac, right-click it and choose Extract All on Windows, or tap it in the Files app on iPhone or Android. You then get a folder with the PDF, the editable Word file and the images.
Notion templates are the exception: they open in Notion instead of downloading. A few products are a single PDF and need no unzipping.
Windows
- Open your Downloads folder.
- Right-click the ZIP > Extract All...
- Pick a folder and click Extract.
Tip: product names are long. If Windows says a path is too long, extract to a short folder such as C:\Entrepedia.
Mac
Double-click the ZIP. macOS unzips it into a folder next to it.
iPhone and iPad
Open the Files app > Downloads, tap the ZIP, and iOS creates a folder with the contents.
Android
Open Files (or My Files) > Downloads, tap the ZIP and choose Extract.
Other tools
The built-in options handle Entrepedia ZIPs. If you prefer another tool: 7-Zip (Windows, free) or The Unarchiver (Mac, free).
What's inside
| Product type | Files |
|---|---|
| Ebook, guide, workbook, checklist, listicle, prompt pack, toolstack | Designed PDF, editable Word file (.docx), cover image (JPG), cover artwork (JPG or PNG) |
| Email mini-course | The emails as PDF and Word, a short "how to use" PDF, a cover image |

| Audio | Audio files (for example M4A or WAV, depending on the product) and artwork |
You may also see a __MACOSX folder or .DS_Store files. They're leftovers from a Mac and safe to delete.
Common problems
"The compressed folder is invalid" or "Unable to expand" The download probably stopped early. Compare the file size with the File size in the product's Details box, delete it and download again.
"Not enough space" Video courses and some audio products are large. Free up space or extract to an external drive.
Files look like strange characters You opened a file in the wrong app. Open .docx in Word or Google Docs, .pdf in a PDF reader, .mp4 in a video player.
After unzipping
- Move the folder somewhere permanent, for example "Entrepedia / Marketing".
- Keep the original ZIP if you want a clean copy. You can also re-download any product from its page.
