Archive Extractor
This free archive extractor tool opens RAR, 7z, ZIP, TAR, GZ and many other archives, lists what's inside, and lets you download any file individually. Everything is decoded on your device, so the archive and its contents never leave your browser.
Extract-only. Creating .rar/.7z isn't possible client-side (proprietary formats). The first open loads a ~1 MB decoder, then it's cached.
How to use Archive Extractor
- 1 Drop an archive onto the page or click to browse (RAR, 7z, ZIP, TAR, GZ, XZ, ZST and more).
- 2 Wait a moment on first use while a small decoder loads and caches.
- 3 Browse the list of files and their sizes that the archive contains.
- 4 Click the download icon on any file to save it — nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Are my archive files uploaded to a server?
No. The archive is opened and decoded entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly decoder, so its contents stay on your device.
Which archive formats are supported?
Extraction covers RAR, 7z, ZIP, TAR, GZ/TGZ, BZ2, XZ, ZST, CAB, ISO, CPIO and more. It is extract-only — creating .rar or .7z isn't possible client-side.
Why won't my archive open?
It may be corrupt, password-protected, or an unsupported format — the tool will tell you. Password-protected archives can't be decrypted here.
Does it work offline?
Yes. PDFPowerHub is a PWA and the decoder is cached after first use, so you can extract archives with no internet connection.
