What is an unzip files online?

An archive (ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR or GZ) bundles many files into one compressed file. To use what is inside, you have to extract it. Windows and macOS open ZIPs on their own, but RAR and 7z need extra software, and phones and work laptops often can't install it.

This tool opens the archive inside your browser with libarchive, the same open-source library behind the tar and unzip tools on many systems, compiled to WebAssembly. As soon as you choose an archive it lists every file and folder, with sizes, before you spend anything. Press Extract and each file becomes downloadable on its own; you can also download a single folder or the whole archive again as a ZIP. Encrypted ZIP (ZipCrypto and AES), 7z and RAR archives ask for their password, which is used only in your browser tab.

Limits: archives up to 1 GB. Everything is unpacked into your browser's memory, so large archives work best on a computer. Multi-part archives (.part1.rar, .z01) and a few rare RAR features are not supported, and damaged archives may extract only partly.

Why use an unzip files online?

You often get archives from people you work with: invoices, photo sets, project files. Uploading them to an unknown "online unzipper" hands that data to someone else. Here the archive is opened on your own device, which is private, works for RAR and 7z without installing anything, and lets you grab just the one file you need.

Unzip files online: frequently asked questions

Something else? Ask the team

Is it safe to extract archives here?

The archive is opened on your device and never uploaded, so its contents stay private. Extracting doesn't run any program inside the archive; downloaded files are saved like any other download, so only open files you trust.

How do I open a RAR or 7z file without WinRAR or 7-Zip?

Choose the .rar or .7z file here and press Extract. The tool reads RAR 4, RAR 5 and 7z directly in your browser, so you don't need to install WinRAR, 7-Zip or The Unarchiver.

Can I unzip files on my iPhone or Android?

Yes. Open this page in Safari or Chrome, choose the archive from Files or Downloads, and press Extract. Then download the files you need one by one. On iPhone, Safari asks where to save each file.

Can it open password-protected archives?

Yes, if you know the password. ZIP files with ZipCrypto or AES encryption, encrypted 7z and encrypted RAR archives ask for it. The tool can't recover or guess a forgotten password.

What is the largest archive I can open?

Up to 1 GB. The files are unpacked into your browser's memory, so phones may struggle with archives of several hundred MB. A computer handles large archives best.

Why does my archive show an error?

The file may be damaged or only partly downloaded, it may be one part of a multi-part archive (.part1.rar, .z01), or it may not be an archive at all despite its name. Download it again, and for multi-part archives use desktop software.

Can I extract just one file?

Yes. After extracting, every file has its own Download button, and each folder can be downloaded on its own as a ZIP. The preview list also shows sizes so you know what you are getting.

Is the unzip tool free?

Looking inside an archive is always free. Extracting uses a run: you get one free run of this tool per day, and after that each run costs credits from a free AI Rank Lab account.
