Extract ZIP, RAR, 7z and TAR files
Drop an archive to see every file inside, with sizes and folders. Pick what you need and save it; the archive never leaves your device.
Updated November 5, 2026
How it works
- Drop an archive or pick one: ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, TAR.XZ, GZ, ISO or CAB.
- Browse the folders, filter by name or pattern (*.jpg) and tick the files you want; system clutter such as __MACOSX is left out by default.
- Save the selection as one ZIP with its folders, or download a single file straight away.
Open a RAR or 7z without installing anything
A RAR attachment on a phone, a 7z from a download site, a TAR.GZ from a developer: none of them open on their own on most devices. Drop the file here and the full list appears with folders and sizes, so you can see what is inside before you save anything. Filter by a word or a pattern such as *.jpg, tick the files you need, and leave the rest in the archive.
What comes out
A single file downloads straight away. A selection is saved as one ZIP, with its folders kept unless you turn that off, so a project unpacks the same way on any computer. System clutter such as __MACOSX and Thumbs.db is skipped by default. Files that are ZIPs under another name open as well: JAR, APK, EPUB, CBZ and XPI, and CBR and CB7 comics for the RAR and 7z kinds.
Sizes and limits
ZIP archives are read piece by piece, so a file of several gigabytes works on a computer; the other formats are opened in memory, up to 1 GB. On a small phone a selection of about 256 MB at a time is the practical limit, and the tool refuses more with a clear message rather than failing halfway. All of it happens in your browser; the archive and its contents never leave your device.
Why people use it
Free, no account
Every tool is free, with no sign-up, no e-mail address and no limit on how often you use it.
Your files stay on your device
The browser opens the file and processes it in memory, on your device. Nothing is uploaded, so nothing can be kept, leaked or looked at.
No watermark
The result is yours as it is: no watermark, no branding, no trial version.
Any device
A phone, a tablet or a computer with a current browser is enough: no app to install, no software to update.
Works offline after the first visit
The browser keeps the pages and their engines, so a tool you have opened once keeps working without a connection.
Open-source engines
The code that does the work is open-source software, named on the Licences page, running as WebAssembly in your browser.
Why it is private
Everything you type or drop here is handled by your browser, on your device. Nothing is uploaded. To verify, open your browser's developer tools, go to the Network tab, and use the tool: you will see no request carrying your data.
While a file is being processed, the counter under the result shows the page's network traffic: 0 requests and 0 B for your data.
How to check it yourself, step by step
What you can check yourself
Open your browser's developer tools on the Network tab before you drop a file: while the tool works you will see no request carrying your data, and the counter under every result shows the page's own measurement.
The site sets no cookies, so there is no cookie banner. Anonymous usage counts and error reports without file names are the only things that leave the page, as the privacy policy describes.
Every change goes through thousands of automated tests in three browser engines, including a guard that fails a test if a single byte of a file leaves the page.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the archive uploaded?
- No. It is read in your browser, in a Web Worker: ZIP files by our own reader, piece by piece; the other formats by libarchive compiled to WebAssembly. The network meter shows 0 B.
- Can I open password-protected archives?
- ZIP: yes, both the classic ZIP encryption and AES; type the password when asked. It stays in the page and is never saved. Encrypted 7z and RAR archives cannot be opened yet: the tool lists their file names when those are visible, but cannot decrypt the contents.
- How large can the archive be?
- ZIP files are read in pieces, so several GB work on a computer. 7z, RAR, TAR and the others are opened in memory, up to 1 GB. What you extract at once is capped by your device's memory (256 MB on a small phone), and the ZIP you save stays under 4 GB.
- What happens with archives inside the archive?
- They are listed as ordinary files. Download one and open it here in turn: nothing is unpacked on its own, which also keeps nested zip bombs harmless.
- What if it is a zip bomb?
- A zip bomb is a tiny archive that expands to gigabytes or more. When a selection expands more than 1,000 times its packed size (and past 50 MB), when entries overlap, or when it is more than your device can hold, the tool refuses it and says why, before writing anything.
- What does the tool not do?
- It does not create archives, open lone .bz2 or .xz files that are not tarballs, join split (multi-part) ZIP or RAR volumes, or decrypt 7z and RAR. Empty folders are not kept in the ZIP. If the engine reports a warning on an entry (an unusual TAR header, say), the list stops there and says so; the files before that point can still be extracted.
- Can I open a RAR file on an iPhone or Android phone?
- Yes, in the phone's browser, with no app. Pick the file from your downloads or from a chat, tick what you need and save it.
- Can I extract just one file from a large archive?
- Yes. Find it with the filter, then use its own download button; nothing else is unpacked.
- Can I open EPUB, APK or comic archives?
- Yes. EPUB, APK, JAR, CBZ and XPI are ZIP files under another name, CBR is RAR and CB7 is 7z; their contents are listed like any archive.
- Can I create an archive or compress a folder here?
- No. The ZIP you can save is only a way to download a selection in one go; the tool does not pack files of your own into an archive.
Install it as an app
Chrome, Edge and Android browsers offer to install this site from the address bar or the menu; on iPhone use Share, then Add to Home Screen. It opens like an app, keeps working offline and still processes everything on your device.
