Tips for extracting archives
Extract Only What You Need
If an archive contains hundreds of files but you only need a few, use selective extraction. This saves time and disk space.
Check for Password-Protected Archives
Some RAR and ZIP archives are password-protected. You will need the password to extract the contents. The tool will prompt you.
Large Archives May Take Time
Very large archives (several GB) may take a few seconds to process in your browser. This is normal — all decompression happens locally.
Verify Extracted Files
After extraction, verify that all files were extracted correctly by checking file counts and sizes. Important for archives with many files.
Supported archive formats
One tool handles all major archive formats — no need for multiple extraction tools.
ZIP
The most common archive format. Supported by all operating systems natively.
RAR
Popular format for large files. Supports multi-volume archives and recovery records.
7z
High compression ratio format. Supports AES-256 encryption and large file sizes.
TAR
Tape archive format. Commonly used on Unix/Linux systems for bundling files.
GZIP
Compression format commonly used with TAR. Reduces file size using DEFLATE algorithm.
BZIP2
High-quality compression format. Produces smaller files than GZIP at the cost of speed.
