Explore your compressed files
See what is inside the package, check text and images and download files individually.
ZIPRARTAR / TAR.GZ7Z
The package is transferred into the browser’s memory. The URL must allow access (CORS). Your local files are not sent to the server.
Preview without execution
Text, HTML and SVG appear as text. Compatible images appear in the preview. Programs and scripts are not run. This does not scan for viruses or guarantee that files are safe.
Browser limits
Up to 100 MB per package, 10,000 items and 50 MB per extracted file. Previews of up to 5 MB. Packages split into volumes and some encryption methods may not open.
About Archives
Opens ZIP, RAR, TAR and 7Z in the browser so you can see the structure, view text and images and extract only what you need.
What this archive reader does
Opens a package without unpacking everything: it shows what is inside and extracts only what you choose. The features that stand out:
Opens RAR and 7Z with nothing to install
ZIP, RAR, TAR and 7Z open right in the browser, up to 100 MB.
Extracts only the file that matters
Download a single item from the list instead of unpacking the whole package.
Views before extracting
See text and images straight from the list to confirm the file is the right one.
Search inside the package
Look for a name or an extension and browse the folders.
Opens from a URL
Paste a package’s address and open it without downloading it first, when the server allows access from the browser.
Local files are not uploaded
The package you choose is processed on your device. A password field is available, but protected packages may not open.
A practical example
Someone sends a 2 GB RAR package with photos from an event, but you only need three images. You open the file in the tool, browse the folders, view the images to find the right ones and extract only those three, without unpacking the whole package.
How to use it
- Open a local file or enter a compatible URL.
- Browse the folders.
- View or select files.
- Extract them individually.
Limits and cautions
- Password-protected files and very large packages may not open.
- External URLs must allow access from the browser.

- Previewing text and images from inside a package before deciding what to extract.

Tips
- Be wary of packages from unknown sources: opening and viewing does not run anything, but do not run extracted programs without knowing where they came from.
- To open from a URL, the file’s server must allow access from the browser; if it does not, download the file and open it from your computer.
- View before extracting: it is a quick way to confirm that the file is the right one.
- For huge packages, extract only what you need instead of everything.
What happens in your browser
The archive is read in the browser and the list of contents appears as folders. The tool opens ZIP, RAR, TAR and 7Z, and shows text and images without requiring you to extract everything.
Extracting only what matters saves time and space, since the browser unpacks only the items you select.
Password-protected files and very large packages may not open. When you enter a URL, the remote server must allow access from the browser.
