How to use the Archive Converter tool
- Drop an archive: ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ISO, CAB and more.
- If a ZIP is password-protected, enter its password.
- Choose the new format — ZIP, TAR.GZ, TAR.XZ or TAR.BZ2.
- Click Convert archive, or download individual files from the list.
Convert and open any archive
Archive formats each have their strengths: ZIP opens everywhere, 7Z and RAR compress tightly, and TAR.GZ / TAR.XZ are standard on Linux and servers. This converter reads ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ISO, CAB and more, and writes ZIP, TAR.GZ, TAR.XZ and TAR.BZ2.
You can also use it simply to look inside an archive and download single files, without installing any software.
Archive Converter: free, fast and private
Convert RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, ISO, CAB and other archives to ZIP, TAR.GZ, TAR.XZ or TAR.BZ2 — for free, on any device. Whether you are working with compressed folders, downloads and shared files, the Archive Converter tool gets it done in seconds without installing anything.
Because Archive Converter runs locally in your browser, it is fast and private at the same time — there is no upload to wait for and no copy of your data left behind.
