We support the most common archive formats: ZIP (including encrypted), RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZIP (.gz, .tar.gz, .tgz), BZIP2 (.bz2, .tar.bz2), and XZ (.xz, .tar.xz). For specialized formats, try our general file viewer which can inspect any file type.
Yes, for ZIP archives with password protection, you'll be prompted to enter the password. Once verified, you can browse and extract files normally. RAR and 7Z password-protected archives have limited support due to their proprietary encryption methods.
Since processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's available memory. Most modern devices can handle archives up to 500MB without issues. For larger archives, performance may vary. If you need to work with very large archives, consider using our archive splitter tool.
Yes! You can preview many file types directly in the browser: text files, source code, JSON, XML, HTML, images (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, SVG), and more. For files we can't preview inline, you can download them individually to view with the appropriate application.
Simply click on any file in the archive browser to select it, then click the "Download File" button in the preview panel. The file will be extracted and downloaded individually. This is perfect when you only need one or two files from a large archive.
Archive files are containers that bundle multiple files and folders into a single compressed package. They're essential for distributing software, backing up data, sharing large file collections, and reducing storage space. Common archive formats include ZIP (universal compatibility), RAR (popular for large downloads), 7Z (maximum compression), and TAR (Unix/Linux standard).
Our online archive viewer lets you inspect archive contents without installing specialized software like WinZip, WinRAR, or 7-Zip. This is particularly useful when you receive an archive from an unknown source and want to verify its contents before extracting, or when you're on a device without archive utilities installed.
There are several situations where an online archive viewer is invaluable. If you're on a public computer or a restricted work environment where you can't install software, our viewer lets you access archive contents instantly. It's also perfect for quickly checking what's inside a downloaded archive before committing to extracting everything, which can save time and storage space.
Developers often use archive viewers to inspect package contents, check dependency files, or verify software distributions. If you're working with WebP images or compressed PNGs, you might receive them in archives that need inspection before integration into your projects.
Unlike many online archive tools that upload your files to remote servers, our viewer processes everything locally in your browser. This client-side approach means your files never leave your device, making it safe to view sensitive documents, proprietary code, or personal photos. The archive data exists only in your browser's memory and is automatically cleared when you close the tab.
