About Online Archive Extractor

Online Archive Extractor enables you to open, inspect, unpack, and convert archive files directly in your web browser without installing third-party utilities like WinRAR, 7-Zip, or The Unarchiver. It supports popular compression algorithms and containers including ZIP, RAR, 7-Zip, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, XZ, and ISO images.

Built with modern WebAssembly and browser stream APIs, all decompression runs locally on your device. Your confidential files, source code archives, database backups, and personal photos are never transferred across the network or stored on any server, delivering guaranteed data privacy and near-instant processing.

Key features

  • Multi-Format Archive Support Decompress standard ZIP archives, RAR (v4 & v5), 7-Zip (.7z), TAR archives, GZIP compressed tarballs (.tar.gz, .tgz), BZIP2 (.tar.bz2), XZ (.tar.xz), and CD/DVD ISO images.
  • 100% Client-Side Privacy All decompression operations execute completely inside your browser sandbox via WebAssembly. No files or metadata ever leave your computer.
  • Interactive Folder Tree & Search Browse archive structures with an intuitive folder tree or flat list table, filter filenames with instant search, and inspect file sizes and timestamps.
  • In-Browser File Previews Preview images, inspect text and source code with line numbering, listen to audio files, view PDFs, or inspect binary structures before downloading.
  • Selective Extraction & ZIP Repackaging Download individual unpacked files, save specific chosen items, or repackage selected contents into a standard clean ZIP file for effortless sharing.

How to Extract and Browse Archives Online

Follow these steps to inspect, preview, and extract files from any archive in your browser.

  1. Upload or drop your archive file Drag and drop your ZIP, 7Z, RAR, TAR, or GZ file onto the upload zone, or click to choose a file from your device. You can also click Try Sample to test the workflow.
  2. Enter password if protected If the archive is encrypted with AES or standard encryption, enter the archive passphrase in the prompt to decrypt headers and contents.
  3. Explore the archive contents Navigate folder hierarchies in Tree View or switch to Flat View. Use the real-time search box to quickly locate specific documents or assets.
  4. Preview files directly in browser Click the Preview button on any image, document, source code file, or media item to view its contents without extracting the entire archive to disk.
  5. Download single files or export as ZIP Download individual items directly, or tick items to download selected files or repackage everything into a fresh universal ZIP archive.

Usage tips

  • For massive archives exceeding 500 MB, ensure your browser tab has sufficient free RAM, as WebAssembly allocates memory directly inside the client process.
  • When extracting archives from unknown origins, in-browser preview lets you inspect code and configuration files safely without running malicious executables on your operating system.
  • Use the "Download All as ZIP" feature to convert proprietary or uncommon formats like 7z or tar.xz into a standard ZIP archive that anyone on Windows, macOS, or mobile can open natively.
