About Universal Archive Extractor

The universal extractor auto-detects the archive format and chooses the right WebAssembly engine under the hood — libarchive-wasm for most formats, plus dedicated engines for ZIP, RAR, and 7Z. It is the best starting point when you are not sure what is inside a file (for example, a .pkg or .deb that is secretly an AR archive) or when you need to open several different archive types in one session.

All the features of the specialized extractors are here — directory tree browsing, selective extraction, preview, password support — plus coverage for less common formats like CAB (Windows), CPIO (Unix initramfs), and LHA (older Japanese software). Handy for digital archaeology and software distribution workflows.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, there are no watermarks, there is no signup, and the tool works offline after the first page load.

Universal Extractor — Frequently Asked Questions

What formats does this tool support?

This tool supports 7Z, RAR, ZIP, TAR (including .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz), GZIP, BZIP2, XZ, LZMA, ISO, CAB, CPIO, AR, LHA, and more thanks to a multi-engine pipeline built on WebAssembly.

Is it safe to extract archives online?

Yes. Everything runs inside your browser. No files are uploaded or stored on our servers.

What is the maximum file size?

Most browsers comfortably handle archives up to a couple of gigabytes. Larger files depend on your device's memory limits.

Can I extract password-protected archives?

Yes. Enter the password when prompted and we'll unlock the archive entirely in your browser.

How does the tool know the format?

The extractor reads the file's magic bytes to detect the format automatically, so you don't need to rename files or pick a format manually.
