Updated: 2026-10-15

> Filevale's archive tools open ZIP, RAR (RAR 4 and RAR 5), 7Z, TAR, GZ and XZ files in your browser, show the folders inside and let you extract single files or everything, with no WinRAR or 7-Zip to install. You can also create ZIP archives, optionally locked with an AES-256 password, and TAR.GZ files. Nothing is uploaded.

## Extract

- [Extract Archive](https://filevale.com/extract-archive/): Open ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ and XZ archives in your browser, browse the folders, tick the files you want and extract them. No install, nothing uploaded.
- [Unzip Files](https://filevale.com/unzip/): Open ZIP files on any device, see what's inside and extract single files or everything. Password-protected ZIPs (AES and classic) are supported.
- [Extract RAR](https://filevale.com/extract-rar/): Open and extract RAR files (RAR 4 and RAR 5) in your browser without WinRAR or an app. Browse folders, pick files, download them or a ZIP.
- [Extract 7Z](https://filevale.com/extract-7z/): Open 7-Zip (.7z) archives in your browser and extract the files you need. LZMA, LZMA2, PPMd and BZip2 compression are supported; nothing is uploaded.
- [Extract TAR / TAR.GZ](https://filevale.com/extract-tar/): Unpack .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.bz2 and .tar.xz archives, or single .gz and .xz files, right in your browser. Browse the folders and pick files.

## Create

- [Create ZIP](https://filevale.com/create-zip/): Put files into one ZIP archive in your browser, optionally protected with an AES-256 password. Works on phones and computers; nothing is uploaded.
- [Password-Protect ZIP](https://filevale.com/zip-with-password/): Encrypt files into a password-protected ZIP with AES-256 in your browser. The password and files never leave your device.
- [Create TAR.GZ](https://filevale.com/create-tar-gz/): Bundle files into a .tar.gz (gzip-compressed TAR) archive in your browser, the standard archive format on Linux and macOS servers.

## Reduce size

- [Reduce File Size](https://filevale.com/reduce-file-size/): Make any file smaller: photos, PDFs, videos, audio, Word and Excel documents (as compressed PDF) and archives (re-packed ZIP). Runs in your browser.

## How it works

Archives are opened by libarchive compiled to WebAssembly, and ZIPs are written with zip.js, both running in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

1. **Choose a tool and add files**: Pick a tool below, then drop files on the page or choose them from your device.
2. **Your browser does the work**: Everything runs locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded and nothing waits in a queue.
3. **Preview and download**: Check the result, change options and run again. Sign in with a free account to download a file or a ZIP.

## FAQ

**How do I open a RAR file without WinRAR?**
Open Extract RAR, drop the .rar file, browse its folders and tick the files you want, then download them one by one or as a ZIP. It reads RAR 4 and RAR 5 archives in any modern browser.

**Can I open password-protected archives?**
Password-protected ZIP files (AES-256 and the older ZipCrypto) open after you type the password. Encrypted RAR and 7Z archives and split (multi-part) archives are not supported yet.

**Can I create a RAR or 7Z file?**
No. You can create ZIP archives, optionally with an AES-256 password, and TAR.GZ archives. RAR is a proprietary format that can't be created without WinRAR's license, and 7Z creation isn't available yet.

**Can I open an archive inside an archive?**
Yes. A ZIP, RAR, 7Z or TAR inside another archive opens inline in the file tree. Extracted files get a Convert… button that hands them to the matching Filevale tool.
