Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Checked against sources on 16 Oct 2026.Windows, Android and iPhone cannot open a .rar file on their own, and installing WinRAR for one download is a lot to ask. This page reads RAR 4 and RAR 5 archives in your browser with libarchive, the open-source archive library, compiled to WebAssembly. Every file is listed with its folder and size; save one, or save everything as a zip. Password-protected RAR files cannot be opened here, and the page says so.
Drop the .rar file on the page, or press Select an archive; nothing is uploaded.
The RAR reader loads once (about 0.5 MB), then every file inside is listed with its folder and size.
Press Download beside a file to save just that one.

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.
The rest of the article, and all 6 questions about TAR.GZ Extractor, are on the TAR.GZ Extractor page.

A .tar packs many files into one without making them smaller. A .tar.gz, or its short form .tgz, is that tar squeezed with gzip. A plain .gz is usually one single file squeezed with gzip, such as a log or a database dump. All four open here.
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.
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.
