Can it open encrypted RAR / 7Z files?

No. The libarchive build used in the browser ships without a crypto module, so password-protected RAR and 7Z cannot be opened. Encrypted ZIP is unaffected — use the zip extractor, which handles both ZipCrypto and AES.

Are multi-volume archives (.part1.rar, .z01) supported?

Not yet. Split archives have to be read as one continuous stream across all volumes, and this tool takes a single file at a time. Join them with a desktop tool first.

Can it create rar or 7z files?

No. RAR compression is patented and proprietary with no browser implementation available, and only extraction is wired up for 7z. Use the ZIP compressor when you need to pack something — zip opens everywhere.

How large an archive can it handle?

RAR and 7Z are read into memory in full, so keep those to a few hundred MB; larger ones get slow or fail. ZIP is read on demand and has no such limit — the zip extractor is the better choice there.
