Convert RAR, 7Z and other archives to ZIP
Archive Converter repacks an archive in another format. The most common use is RAR or 7Z to ZIP, because ZIP opens on every computer and phone without extra software. You can also make a TAR or TAR.GZ for Linux and macOS.
The archive is unpacked and repacked in your browser, including password-protected ones once you enter the password, and nothing is uploaded.

Choose an archive: ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ or ISO, then pick the format you want, and enter the password if it has one, then select Convert and download. It's free, there's no sign-up, and it runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

- How do I convert RAR to ZIP?
- Choose the RAR, pick ZIP and select Convert. Enter the password if asked.

- Yes. Archive converter is free, works without an account and adds no watermark, for files up to 500 MB. Pro raises that to 2 GB.

- Does Archive converter work on Mac, Windows, Android and iPhone?
- Yes. It runs in any modern web browser, with nothing to install. Very large files work best on a desktop or laptop, because in-browser tools use your device's memory.
