Open rar and 7z files without installing WinRAR or 7-Zip: drop the archive in and its folder structure and contents show up right in the browser, so you can extract only the files you need. Powered by a WebAssembly build of libarchive, covering RAR4/RAR5, 7Z, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.XZ, TAR.BZ2, CAB, ISO, LZH and more. Nothing is uploaded.

## How to use

1. Drop in a .rar, .7z, .tar.gz or similar archive (a ~1 MB extraction core loads on first use)
2. Tick the files you want in the tree; click a name to preview it
3. Click "Download selected", or "Extract to folder" to write them to disk

## Features

- RAR4 / RAR5, 7Z, TAR.GZ and a dozen more formats
- Folder tree with text and image preview
- Extract only the files you need
- Runs locally — the archive is never uploaded

## FAQ

### 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.
