Open ZIP, RAR & 7Z Files
Open and extract ZIP, RAR and 7z archives right in your browser — no WinRAR, no 7-Zip, and nothing is ever uploaded.
Open any archive without installing anything
A ZIP, RAR or 7z file is a container that bundles several files together and compresses them so they are smaller and easier to share. To get at what is inside, you normally need software like WinRAR or 7-Zip installed. This tool opens all the common archive formats directly in your browser, so you can see what is inside and pull out the files you need without installing a thing.
Drop a ZIP, RAR or 7z file in, and it lists the contents so you can download any file, or all of them at once.
Which formats it opens
The tool reads the major archive formats people actually run into:
| Format | Opens here | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| ZIP | Yes | The universal archive format, used everywhere |
| RAR (v4 & v5) | Yes | The proprietary format created by WinRAR |
| 7z | Yes | The high-compression format from 7-Zip |
| TAR, GZ, and more | Yes | Common bundle formats on Linux and macOS |
The format is detected from the file itself, so it does not matter if the extension is unusual — if it is a supported archive, it will open.
How to open a ZIP, RAR or 7z file
- Drop your archive onto the box above, or click to choose it.
- The tool reads it and lists every file inside, with its size.
- Download any single file, or grab everything at once.
That is the whole process. There is no account, no waiting in a queue, and no software to install — useful on a work laptop, a school computer, or any device where you cannot install WinRAR or 7-Zip.
Why opening archives in the browser is safer
This is the part that matters most for anything private. Most free online archive extractors upload your file to their server, unpack it there, and send the contents back — which means your files, whatever they contain, pass through someone else's computer. This tool works completely differently: the entire extraction happens inside your own browser using a WebAssembly build of the same engine that powers desktop archive tools. Your archive never leaves your device, is never uploaded, and is never seen by any server. For a download full of personal documents, work files, or anything confidential, that is a genuine difference, not a marketing line.
A couple of honest notes. Very large archives are limited by your device's memory, since everything is handled in the browser. Password-protected and split multi-part archives are more involved and may not open in every case. And while RAR and 7z opening is done by a capable in-browser engine, extremely unusual or damaged archives can still defeat any tool. For the everyday job of opening a ZIP, RAR or 7z you have been sent and getting the files out, it does exactly what you need, privately and without any software.
Questions & answers
How do I open a ZIP file?
Drop the ZIP onto the box above and it instantly lists everything inside, so you can download any file or all of them. Nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded.
How do I open a RAR file without WinRAR?
Just drop the RAR file here. It opens RAR v4 and v5 archives directly in your browser using a WebAssembly engine, so you do not need WinRAR or any other software installed.
Can I open a 7z file online?
Yes. Drop a 7z file in and it extracts in your browser, no 7-Zip installation required. The extraction runs on your device, so the file is never uploaded.
Is it safe — is my file uploaded?
It is safe: the archive is opened entirely inside your browser and never leaves your device. Unlike many online extractors, nothing is sent to a server.
What about password-protected archives?
Password-protected archives are more involved and may not open in every case. Split multi-part archives can also be tricky. Standard ZIP, RAR and 7z files open straightforwardly.
