Extract Archive
Open any archive format without installing software.
How to extract archive
- Drop the archive file into the tool. Multi-part archives (.zip.001, .rar.part1) should all be added together.
- If the archive is password-protected, enter the password. It is only used inside your browser.
- Browse the file tree, select what you want, then download as a ZIP.
About this tool
Most operating systems can open ZIP files natively, but everything else — RAR, 7z, TAR with various compression layers, ISO images, old cabinet files — requires either a separate install or an online service that wants you to upload the file to their server. Neither is ideal when the archive contains anything private.
This tool handles the whole common matrix in-browser. The heavy lifting comes from libarchive compiled to WebAssembly, the same C library that powers file managers and package managers on Linux. RAR5 and 7z decompression are included; the one thing it cannot do is create RAR files, because the RAR format is proprietary and the encoder is not available as open-source.
Multi-part archives are common with RAR files distributed across file-hosting sites and deserve a direct answer: add all parts at once and the assembly is automatic. Password-protected archives work the same way — enter the password and decryption runs locally on your machine.
