Open RAR, ZIP, 7Z and other archives online

Archive Extractor opens compressed files and lets you download what's inside, one file at a time or everything as a ZIP. It handles RAR, ZIP, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ISO and more, including password-protected archives.

It's especially handy on phones, tablets and work computers where you can't install an unarchiver. The archive is opened in your browser and never uploaded.

Archive extractor in short

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

Archive extractor: common questions

How do I open a RAR file without WinRAR?
Choose the RAR here. The files inside are listed and you can download them individually or as a ZIP.
Can I open a password-protected archive?
Yes, if you know the password. Enter it when asked.
Can it open split archives (part1.rar, part2.rar)?
Not yet. Multi-part archives need every part together, which the browser tool doesn't support.
Is Archive extractor free?
Yes. Archive extractor is free, works without an account and adds no watermark, for files up to 500 MB. Pro raises that to 2 GB.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Archive extractor runs in your web browser, so the file is read on your own device and never sent to ConvertFile.
Does Archive extractor 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.
