Why Extract RAR Files?
RAR is the one archive format your computer can’t open out of the box — Windows and macOS both handle ZIP natively but need extra software like WinRAR or 7-Zip for RAR. If you just need the files out of one archive, installing software is overkill.
This tool extracts RAR archives directly in your browser using a WebAssembly build of libarchive — real extraction, not a wrapper around a server. The archive never leaves your device, which also means there is no upload wait and no size-limited "free tier".
Extracted files download individually to your Downloads folder. Your browser may ask permission to download multiple files — allow it once and the rest follow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need WinRAR or 7-Zip installed?
No — extraction happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded.
Are password-protected RAR files supported?
Not currently. Encrypted archives will fail with a clear message; you’ll need desktop software like 7-Zip for those.
How do the extracted files arrive?
Each file downloads individually to your Downloads folder. For archives with many files, your browser will ask once for permission to download multiple files.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit — extraction uses your device’s memory, so very large archives depend on your hardware. Typical downloads extract in seconds.
What other archive formats can Konverter open?
ZIP, 7Z, TAR, and GZ archives each have their own extraction tool on this site, and you can also create ZIP files.
