🗜️ Open Archive

How to use it

  1. Tap "Choose an archive" and pick the file — on iPhone it is usually in Files → Downloads.
  2. You will see every file and folder. Tap a file — photos, videos, PDFs and text open right here.
  3. Download a file with ⬇, or everything at once. An archive inside the archive opens with "↳ open".

What it does

Formats. ZIP, RAR (including RAR5), 7z, TAR, GZ/TGZ, BZ2, XZ, ISO, CAB, plus CBZ/CBR comics. The engines are the open-source libarchive (the same one used inside macOS) and 7-Zip.

Preview without extracting. Photos (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG), video and audio (MP4, MOV, MP3, WAV…), PDFs and text files (TXT, CSV, JSON, XML, code) open right on the page. Use the arrows to flip through files.

Multi-part archives. part1.rar / part2.rar, .7z.001 / .7z.002, .z01 / .zip — select all parts at once and they open as one archive. All parts must fit in your device memory.

Repacking. Any archive (RAR, 7z, ZIP, TAR…) can be rebuilt as ZIP, 7z or TAR.GZ — with a compression level and an optional password. For example, RAR to ZIP so it opens on any phone, or add a password to a ZIP. Repacking into RAR is not possible: the format is proprietary and only WinRAR may create it.

Passwords. Password-protected ZIP, 7z and RAR archives open if you know the password. The page does not and will not guess other people's passwords.

Privacy. The archive is read in your browser and nothing is sent to a server — safe for contracts, passport scans and other personal files.

FAQ

How do I convert RAR to ZIP?

Open the RAR here, tap "Repack", pick ZIP and "Repack and download". You can add a password or choose 7z instead.

How do I open a multi-part archive (part1.rar, part2.rar)?

Tap "Choose an archive" and select all parts at once — the page recognises them as one archive and opens it. Works for RAR (part1/part2), 7z and ZIP (.001/.002, .z01/.zip).

How do I open a RAR file on iPhone?

The Files app only opens ZIP. Open this page in Safari, tap "Choose an archive" and pick the RAR file — you will see everything inside and can view or download any file.

Do I have to extract the whole archive?

No. You can view and download individual files. If you need everything, computers get "Extract to a folder", and "Repack" turns it all into a ZIP, 7z or TAR.GZ.

Is my archive uploaded to your server?

No. Everything runs in your browser on your device; files are never sent anywhere.

Does it open password-protected archives?

Yes, ZIP, 7z and RAR with a password — if you know it. The page asks for it when opening.

What is the maximum archive size?

The limit is your device memory. Computers handle archives of hundreds of megabytes; on phones keep it under ~200 MB.

What if the archive will not open?

It is most likely damaged or not fully downloaded — try downloading it again. If it is a multi-part archive (part1.rar, part2.rar…), select all parts at once.
