ISO to ZIP: disc contents without mounting anything
The files inside a disc image, lifted into a plain archive you can browse like any folder of files.

Disc images preserve old software, driver discs and burned archives, but reaching their files means mounting the image or finding niche tools. Repacking as ZIP skips all of it: the ISO's file system is read directly, its contents rebuilt as an ordinary archive with the disc's folder layout intact, browsable on any machine like any ZIP. Bootability and disc metadata are not the cargo here, the files are. Reading and rebuilding run locally.
Questions
Can the ZIP be burned back into a working disc?
No, it holds the files, not the disc structure; bootable images need disc-authoring tools. For accessing content, the ZIP is exactly right.
Do old disc file systems read correctly?
Standard ISO file systems, including long-name extensions, are read; the folder tree comes through as the disc presented it.
Is the image uploaded?
No, it is read in your browser.
