7z Extractor

files

Open a .7z archive in your browser and save the files inside, without 7-Zip

Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Checked against sources on 16 Oct 2026.

7-Zip squeezes files harder than zip, but a .7z needs 7-Zip or a similar app to open, which a phone or a work laptop often does not have. This page reads the archive in your browser with libarchive compiled to WebAssembly, lists every file with its folder and size, and saves one file or everything as a zip. Archives up to 512 MB open; password-protected 7z files cannot, and the page says so.

How to open a 7z file online

1

Drop the .7z file on the page, or press Select an archive; nothing is uploaded.

2

The 7z reader loads once (about 0.5 MB), then every file inside is listed with its folder and size.

3

Press Download beside a file to save just that one.

4

Or press Download all as ZIP to get everything in a zip that opens with a double-click.

How 7z Extractor works

TAR.GZ Extractor opens the archives that Linux servers, developers and backup tools make, on any computer or phone, without installing 7-Zip or using a terminal. It reads a plain .tar, a .tar.gz or its short form .tgz, and a single .gz file, and also .tar.bz2, .tar.xz, RAR and 7z archives.

RAR and 7z. RAR (versions 4 and 5), 7z, bzip2 and xz are read by libarchive, an open-source library, compiled to WebAssembly. Its reader, about 0.5 MB, is downloaded only when you open one of these files, and the sizes inside are checked before anything is unpacked. Password-protected RAR and 7z archives cannot be opened here, and the page says so.

Limits. Up to 1 GB as chosen and 2 GB unpacked for tar and gzip, and 512 MB as chosen and 1 GB unpacked for RAR, 7z, bzip2 and xz, with up to 20,000 entries, because the archive is held in the memory of the browser tab. Zstandard (.tar.zst) is not read yet; the page names the format it found instead of failing silently. Zip files open with Zip / Unzip.

Frequently asked questions

How do I open a tar.gz file without installing anything?

Drop the file on this page and press Open archive. The browser un-gzips it, reads the tar inside and lists every file with its folder and size. Press Download beside a file to save one, or Download all as ZIP to save everything together.

Can it open .rar, .7z, .tar.bz2 and .tar.xz files?

Yes. RAR (versions 4 and 5), 7z, .tar.bz2 and .tar.xz are read by libarchive compiled to WebAssembly, loaded only when you open one, up to 512 MB as chosen. Password-protected RAR and 7z archives and .tar.zst files cannot be opened here, and the page says so. Zip files open with Zip / Unzip.

How large an archive can I open?

Up to 1 GB as chosen, and up to 2 GB once unpacked, with at most 20,000 entries. The whole archive is held in the memory of the browser tab, so a phone may need a smaller file than a computer. A damaged or cut-short archive still gives every complete file before the damage.

Is my archive uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and unpacked by your own browser on your device, and the zip is built there too. Nothing is sent to a server, so private backups and logs stay private. Paths that try to climb out of the folder with two dots are kept inside it.
