UnZend v5.0.0 — Offline ionCube Decoder & SourceGuardian Decoder for PHP

UnZend v5.0.0 is a professional, offline ionCube Decoder and SourceGuardian Decoder for developers, agencies, software companies, and security teams.

UnZend helps you recover, inspect, and maintain protected PHP applications that you own or have permission to access. Because the software runs entirely on your own Windows or Linux machine, your files never leave your environment.

As a result, you can work with confidential projects without uploading source files, credentials, licensing code, or business logic to an unknown online decoder.

Why Choose UnZend?

• Fully Offline and Private – UnZend processes your protected PHP files locally. Therefore, you keep complete control over your source code and project data.

“`

• ionCube and SourceGuardian Support – Use one application as both an ionCube Decoder and a SourceGuardian Decoder.
• Readable PHP Output – UnZend rebuilds supported PHP structures and removes common protection layers wherever possible. Consequently, your team can review, debug, update, and maintain the recovered code more easily.
• CLI and Batch Processing – Decode one file or process an entire project directory. You can also include UnZend in scripts, internal tools, and automated workflows.
• Built for Professional Projects – UnZend works well for legacy applications, security reviews, PHP upgrades, project migrations, and authorized source recovery.
• Windows and Linux Support – Run UnZend on supported 64-bit Windows and Linux systems.

One Tool for ionCube and SourceGuardian

Development teams often maintain PHP projects protected by different encoding systems. For that reason, UnZend combines both decoding workflows in one application.

You can use UnZend as an ionCube PHP Decoder for supported ionCube files. Likewise, you can use it as a SourceGuardian Decoder for compatible SourceGuardian projects.

Who Uses UnZend?

• Companies that need to maintain or modernize their own protected PHP software.
• Agencies that have written permission to work on encoded client projects.
• Developers recovering source code from authorized legacy applications.
• Security teams reviewing PHP code for vulnerabilities and compliance issues.
• Consultants handling PHP upgrades, migrations, and technical audits.

Supported Versions

• ionCube: Loader generations 10–15
• SourceGuardian: Versions 11–17
• PHP: PHP 5.6–8.5
• Operating Systems: Windows 64-bit and Linux 64-bit

Compatibility may vary depending on the encoder version, protection settings, target PHP version, and structure of the encoded file.

Simple Command-Line Workflow

UnZend uses a clear command-line workflow. Therefore, you can process files manually or include the decoder in your existing development tools.

ionCube Decoder Example

unzend decode --engine ioncube --input /path/locked.php --out ./decoded/

SourceGuardian Decoder Example

unzend decode --engine sourceguardian --input /path/locked.php --out ./decoded/

You can use the same workflow for single files or complete project folders. In addition, logs and organized output make larger recovery and audit tasks easier to manage.

Readable Output for Real Development Work

A decoder should do more than extract code. It should also help developers understand the result.

For this reason, UnZend focuses on producing readable and maintainable PHP wherever the original protection allows it. You can then use the recovered code to:

• Investigate errors in legacy applications.
• Upgrade projects to newer PHP versions.
• Review code for security problems.
• Replace outdated libraries and integrations.
• Refactor old modules and continue development.

Standard or Pro?

UnZend comes in Standard and Pro editions.

The Standard edition suits individual developers and smaller recovery tasks. However, the Pro edition offers a stronger workflow for professionals, agencies, and teams that handle larger or more frequent projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is UnZend an online ionCube Decoder?

No. UnZend works completely offline. You install it on your own system, so your protected PHP files stay private.

Can UnZend decode ionCube and SourceGuardian files?

Yes. UnZend works as both an ionCube Decoder and a SourceGuardian Decoder for supported versions and compatible PHP files.

Does UnZend support PHP 8?

Yes. UnZend supports compatible protected projects targeting PHP versions up to PHP 8.5. However, compatibility also depends on the encoder version and protection settings.

Can I decode an entire project folder?

Will UnZend upload my files?

No. UnZend processes files locally and does not require an online upload. As a result, your source code, credentials, and project data remain inside your environment.

Is the recovered PHP code readable?

UnZend aims to produce readable PHP wherever technically possible. The final result depends on the original encoding method and protection settings.
