Which Archive Formats Are Supported?

ZIP entries using store or deflate, standard POSIX/ustar TAR archives, TAR.GZ/TGZ packages and ordinary single-file GZIP streams are supported.

Does It Work With Password-Protected Archives?

No. Password-protected ZIPs, RAR, 7Z and unusual ZIP compression methods require a dedicated archive engine and are deliberately rejected.

How Is Archive Expansion Limited?

TAR and GZIP extraction enforce file-count, source-size and expanded-size limits before downloads are offered, reducing the risk of a damaged or intentionally oversized archive exhausting browser memory.

Is The Archive Uploaded?

No. Parsing, extraction and ZIP conversion run entirely in this browser tab.

What Is the Archive Extractor & TAR To ZIP Converter?
