Archive Extractor

Unzip ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, ISO and CAB files right in your browser - one archive or a whole batch, split parts included. Preview files, pick only what you need and save it as a ZIP or straight into a folder - or turn a RAR or 7Z into a ZIP in one click (see also RAR to ZIP). Just want to look inside first? Open it in the Archive Viewer. Need to pack files instead? Use the Archive Creator.

How to extract files online

  1. Drop your archives. Drop one or more ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, ISO or CAB files on the page. Split parts such as .001 and .002 are joined for you.
  2. Pick what to extract. Everything is ticked. Untick files, search by name, or keep only images, documents, audio or code.
  3. Choose how to save. Get one ZIP download, or in Chrome and Edge write the files straight into a folder on your disk.
  4. Extract. Press Extract. One or two files download directly; more files arrive together.

Tap the eye icon to preview a file first. For a full folder browser with a safety report, open the archive in the Archive Viewer. Damaged download? Try ZIP Repair, and join .001 parts with the File Joiner.

Why use this extractor

A whole batch at once

Drop ten archives and get one tidy result, each in its own folder - or merged together.

Split parts joined

Select .001, .002 ... or .z01 plus the .zip and they are put back together.

Straight to a folder

In Chrome and Edge the files are written to a folder you pick - no extra ZIP, no size worries.

Only what you need

Tick files by hand, search with *.jpg, or keep only images, documents, media or code.

No junk

Leave out __MACOSX, .DS_Store and Thumbs.db, and flatten deep folders.

Peek before you extract

Click the eye to preview photos, text, code, music and video right from the archive.

Convert to ZIP

One click turns a RAR, 7Z or TAR.GZ into a ZIP that Windows and Mac open on their own.

Recent downloads

Your last ZIPs stay in this browser for 14 days, ready to download again.

Private and safe

Nothing is uploaded, dangerous paths are cleaned and disguised programs are flagged.

Supported archive formats

The format is read from the first bytes of the file, so a renamed archive still opens.

ZIP download or folder - which to pick?

One ZIP works in every browser and on phones.

Into a folder writes each file straight to your disk, so there is nothing to unzip again and no memory limit.

It needs Chrome, Edge or Opera on a computer - your browser asks which folder to use, and the tool can only touch that folder. On a phone or in Firefox and Safari, the ZIP option is used.

Archives from strangers

Archives are a favourite way to sneak malware past email filters.

Before extracting, the tool checks every name and warns you about programs disguised as documents (invoice.pdf.exe), paths that try to escape the folder (../../) and zip bombs.

Extracting here never runs anything, and unsafe paths are cleaned. Still scan programs with your antivirus before opening them. The Archive Viewer shows the full safety report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drop the ZIP, RAR, 7Z or other archive on this page. Every file inside is listed and ticked - press Extract to get them all, or untick what you do not need first.

One or two files download directly, more come as one ZIP or go straight into a folder you choose.

Yes. RAR4 and RAR5 archives, solid ones included, extract right in your browser.

Encrypted RAR files and multi-part RAR sets (.part1.rar, .r00) still need WinRAR or 7-Zip on a computer, but opening part 1 shows what is inside. The RAR File Viewer gives more detail.

Select or drop all of them together. Each archive gets its own folder in the result, or you can merge them into one folder in Settings.

Split archives such as photos.zip.001, .002 and .003 are recognised and joined first.

No. The archive is opened by your browser with JavaScript and WebAssembly, so nothing leaves your device - not the archive, not the password.

That makes it safe for private documents and work files.

Yes for ZIP and 7Z. ZIP files with AES-256, AES-128 or ZipCrypto and 7Z files with AES-256 work, even when the file names are hidden.

Type the password once in Settings and it is used for every locked archive. Need to lock an archive yourself? Use the Archive Creator.

ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ and ISO files are read in place, so multi-gigabyte archives work, especially when you save to a folder.

7Z, RAR and CAB go through a WebAssembly engine that handles about 1.9 GB on most devices. A single ZIP download above 1.5 GB may run out of memory - save to a folder instead.

They are leftovers from the computer that made the archive: Mac Finder adds __MACOSX folders and .DS_Store files, Windows adds Thumbs.db and desktop.ini.

You never need them - turn on Skip junk files and they are left out.

Old ZIP files made on Windows store names in a local code page instead of Unicode, so Russian, Japanese or Chinese names can come out scrambled.

Open Settings → File name encoding and pick the right one - the list updates instantly. Still having trouble? Please contact us and we'll be happy to help!
