How to use the RAR to ZIP tool
- Drop a .rar file (RAR4 or RAR5).
- Check the list of files inside — you can download any of them individually.
- Click Create ZIP to download everything as one ZIP file.
Open RAR files without WinRAR
RAR is a popular archive format, but Windows, macOS, iOS and Android cannot open it natively. ZIP opens everywhere. This tool unpacks the RAR in your browser using libarchive (compiled to WebAssembly) and re-packs the files as a ZIP.
Both the older RAR4 and the newer RAR5 formats are supported. Password-protected (encrypted) and split multi-part RAR archives can’t be opened in a browser — use WinRAR or 7-Zip for those.
RAR to ZIP: free, fast and private
Convert RAR archives (RAR4 and RAR5) to ZIP, or download the files inside — no software needed — for free, on any device. Whether you are working with compressed folders, downloads and shared files, the RAR to ZIP tool gets it done in seconds without installing anything.
Because RAR to ZIP 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.
Helpful tips
- ZIP files open on every computer and phone without extra software.
- Password-protected RAR files need the original software (WinRAR or 7-Zip).
- Download single files from an archive if you only need one or two.
