Why Can't I Read My Google Takeout Files?
When you download your data from Google Takeout, you receive a ZIP file containing hundreds of folders and JSON files. These files are formatted for machines, not humans, with timestamps as milliseconds, coordinates as raw numbers, and complex nested data structures.
TakeoutReader solves this problem by automatically parsing your Google Takeout export and converting it into a clear, readable report. No coding skills required. No technical knowledge needed. Just upload your ZIP file and get instant insights into what Google knows about you.
