To extract all archives from a folder, use a file extraction tool compatible with your operating system (like 7-Zip or WinRAR for Windows, or The Unarchiver for macOS). Install the software, then navigate to the folder containing the archives. Most tools offer a 'Extract Here' option on right-clicking in the folder. This command extracts all the archives into their individual folders or into the current directory, depending on the tool settings.
