Quality, compatibility and file limits

Convert regular archive files to ZIP, 7Z, TAR and compressed TAR, or inspect and extract the contents. Links, special filesystem entries and permissions are not retained. Enter a password in Options for encrypted input. Single-stream compression packs multiple files in TAR.

Processing uses your device when possible and our servers when required. Browser files are limited to 256 MB each; server conversions to 64 MB; browser spreadsheets to 32 MB. Previews show supported content and do not guarantee identical rendering in every application.
