About Archive Tools
Compressed archives make sharing, uploading, and storing multiple files far more practical than handling them individually. This collection covers both creating and extracting the common archive formats — ZIP, 7Z, TAR, GZ, and RAR — using a real compiled compression engine that runs entirely in your browser.
Why use these tools
- Archive creation runs on the actual 7-Zip binary compiled to WebAssembly, producing genuine, standards-compliant archives rather than a simplified reimplementation.
- Extraction supports RAR files as well, a proprietary format that's more complex to support but common enough to need reliable handling.
- Browse an archive's contents and download just the files you need, without extracting everything.
- Files are compressed and extracted entirely on your device, never uploaded to a server.
Frequently asked questions
Which archive formats are supported?
ZIP, 7Z, TAR, and GZ can all be created here, and ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, and GZ can all be extracted.
Can I create a RAR archive?
No — RAR is a proprietary format, and only WinRAR's own software can create RAR files. Every tool, including this one, can extract them, but ZIP, 7Z, TAR, or GZ are the available formats for creating a new archive.
Are my files uploaded to a server when I compress or extract an archive?
No. Both archive creation and extraction run entirely in your browser using a real compiled compression engine. Your files are never transmitted anywhere.
Can I extract just one file from a large archive instead of everything?
Yes, Extract Archive lets you browse the archive's contents and download individual files you need, rather than forcing a full extraction of everything inside.
Which archive format should I choose when creating one?
ZIP is the most universally compatible option and opens natively on nearly every operating system. 7Z typically compresses more tightly but needs dedicated software on some systems. TAR and GZ are common in Unix and Linux environments.
