Open 7z, RAR and TAR files without extra software

Windows and macOS can unzip ZIP files on their own, but a 7z download, a RAR from a forum or a .tar.gz source package usually means installing another program. This extractor opens all of them directly in your browser. It is built on libarchive — the same library behind the tar command on macOS and BSD — compiled to WebAssembly, so it understands 7-Zip, RAR 4 and RAR 5, every TAR variant, GZIP, BZIP2, XZ and Zstandard compression, ISO disc images, Microsoft CAB files, Debian packages and more. The archive type is recognised from the file's contents, so it still works when the extension is wrong.

After opening, you see a folder tree with the size of every file. Tick individual files, whole folders or everything, then extract. A single file is saved as-is; a selection is packed into one ZIP that keeps the original folder structure, which avoids a separate download prompt for every file. Single-file compressed streams such as .gz, .bz2 or .xz are decompressed and saved under the original file name.

Password-protected archives

If an archive is encrypted, the tool tells you and asks for the password. Type it into the password field and click “Open again with password”; it is only passed to the extraction engine running in your tab and is never stored or transmitted. Encrypted ZIP archives can be decrypted when the password is correct. Encrypted 7z and RAR archives are detected, but libarchive has no decoder for their encryption, so the tool explains that instead of producing corrupted output — a desktop program such as 7-Zip is needed for those.

Private, local extraction

The WebAssembly engine runs in a background worker, so the page stays responsive while large archives are being read. Nothing is uploaded: the archive is read from your disk, decompressed on your device and the results are handed directly to your downloads folder. Archive entry names are sanitised before saving, which protects you from archives that try to write files outside their folder. For plain ZIP files the Unzip Files tool is lighter and opens very large ZIPs faster.

How to use

  1. Open the archiveDrop a 7z, RAR, TAR, TAR.GZ, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ISO or other archive onto the box, or click to choose it.
  2. Enter a password if neededFor encrypted archives, type the password and click “Open again with password”.
  3. Select filesBrowse the folder tree and tick the files or folders you want, or use Select all.
  4. ExtractA single file downloads directly; several files are bundled into one ZIP that keeps the folder structure.

Frequently asked questions

Which archive formats can I open?
7-Zip (.7z), RAR 4 and RAR 5, TAR, TAR.GZ/TGZ, TAR.BZ2, TAR.XZ, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ZIP, ISO 9660 disc images, CAB, CPIO, AR/DEB, XAR/PKG, LZH and more. The format is detected from the file contents, not the extension.
Are my archives uploaded?
No. Extraction runs in your browser using libarchive compiled to WebAssembly in a background worker. The archive and the extracted files never leave your device.
Can it open password-protected archives?
Password-protected ZIP files (classic ZipCrypto and, where supported, WinZip AES) can be opened: enter the password and open the file again. libarchive cannot decrypt encrypted 7z and RAR archives, so for those you get a clear message instead of broken files.
Why are several files downloaded as a ZIP?
Browsers can only save one file per download. Bundling a selection into a ZIP keeps the original folder structure and avoids dozens of separate download prompts.
Is there a size limit?
The archive is loaded into the browser's memory, so very large archives (over 1–2 GB) may fail on devices with limited RAM. Extracting a few files at a time helps.
