Frequently Asked Questions

How do I uncompress a file online?

Select or drag an archive into the upload area. This tool reads supported files in your browser, displays their contents, and lets you download extracted files. It supports ZIP, RAR, TAR, and GZ archives.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

This tool is designed to process archives locally in your browser. Your archive is not uploaded to this site's server for extraction. As with any browser-based tool, use care when opening files from untrusted sources.

  • Processing happens in the browser
  • No account is required
  • You can close or refresh the page to clear the current session

Which archive formats can I uncompress?

You can uncompress ZIP, RAR, TAR, and GZ archives. The files inside can be documents, images, audio, video, or other file types; the tool extracts the archive rather than converting the contents.

  • ZIP (.zip)
  • RAR (.rar)
  • TAR (.tar)
  • GZ (.gz)

Is there a file-size limit?

Archives up to 200 MB are supported. Browser memory and the size of the uncompressed contents can also affect performance. If a large archive does not open reliably, try a desktop extraction app or a smaller archive.

Do I need an account to use this file uncompressor?

No. Select an archive and start extracting it immediately—there is no registration step or account required to use this tool.
