Konverzia RAR na ZIP

What RAR na ZIP does

Archive conversion unpacks every file from one archive and packs the files into another format. RAR na ZIP reads RAR (version 4 and 5), 7Z, ZIP and TAR archives with libarchive compiled to WebAssembly, as well as files compressed with GZ, BZ2 or XZ. It writes ZIP, TAR and TGZ with the fflate library, and 7Z with its own writer that uses Deflate compression.

The files themselves are copied byte for byte; only the packaging changes. This helps when you receive a format your system cannot open, since ZIP opens without extra software on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.

When to use RAR na ZIP

• Convert a RAR file from a download or a colleague to ZIP so it opens on a work computer without WinRAR.
• Repack a 7Z archive as ZIP for someone using an iPhone, where ZIP files open without an extra app.
• Turn a ZIP into a TGZ for a Linux server, a deployment script or a tool that expects TAR archives.
• Open a .tar.xz or .tar.bz2 source package on Windows by converting it to a ZIP file first.

Settings explained

Output format

Chooses the new archive type. ZIP opens everywhere, TGZ (TAR plus gzip) is common on Linux and macOS, TAR packs files without compression, and 7Z opens in 7-Zip and similar apps.

ZIP compression

Shown when saving as ZIP. Normal is a good balance, and Maximum is slower and slightly smaller. None (fastest) stores files without compressing them, which suits photos, videos and other files that are already compressed.

Archive password (if protected)

Enter the password when the source archive is encrypted. It is used only to open the archive; the new archive is saved without a password. Leave the field empty for normal archives.

What changes when you convert RAR to ZIP

All files and folders are extracted from the RAR archive and packed again as ZIP. File contents are not changed, and the archive size depends on the compression of the new format.

Format comparison

Čo je RAR?

RAR (Roshal Archive) je archívny formát z roku 1993, ktorého autorom je Eugene Roshal. Formát používa bezstratovú kompresiu. Súbory majú príponu .rar.

RAR is a proprietary archive format created by Eugene Roshal and used by the WinRAR program. It compresses files into one archive and supports archives split into several volumes, recovery records that can repair damage, and AES encryption. The current RAR5 version was introduced with WinRAR 5.

RAR is useful when you need archives split into several parts or recovery data that can repair partly damaged files. Often you simply receive RAR files and need to extract them. For new archives, ZIP or 7Z is more open.

Only WinRAR and the official RAR tools can create RAR archives, because the compression method is proprietary. Other programs can only extract them. Encrypted or damaged archives cannot be opened without the password or enough recovery data.

Recent versions of Windows 11 can extract RAR files in File Explorer. On older Windows versions, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, apps such as WinRAR, 7-Zip or The Unarchiver are needed. Web browsers cannot open RAR files.

Čo je ZIP?

ZIP (ZIP Archive) je archívny formát z roku 1989, ktorého autorom je Phil Katz. Formát používa bezstratovú kompresiu. Súbory majú príponu .zip.

ZIP was created by Phil Katz of PKWARE for the PKZIP program. It compresses each file separately, usually with the DEFLATE method, and stores a central directory of all files at the end of the archive. Many other formats, such as DOCX, EPUB, JAR and APK, are ZIP archives internally.

ZIP is the best choice for sending several files or folders as one download, for email attachments and for sharing with people on any system, because it opens almost everywhere without extra software.

ZIP compresses less than 7Z, RAR or XZ, especially with many similar files. The traditional ZIP password protection is weak. AES encryption is stronger but not supported by every built-in tool. Very old tools may show non-Latin file names incorrectly.

Windows, macOS and most Linux desktops create and open ZIP files without extra software. Android and iOS can open them in their file apps, and every archive program supports the format.

Prečo používať nástroj RAR na ZIP od FansBond

Väčšina online konvertorov nahráva vaše súbory na svoje servery. Nástroj „RAR na ZIP“ od FansBond namiesto toho pracuje priamo vo vašom prehliadači vďaka WebAssembly a moderným rozhraniam prehliadača. Súbory zostávajú vo vašom zariadení, čo je bezpečnejšie pre súkromné fotky, zmluvy aj nezverejnenú prácu, a často je to aj rýchlejšie, pretože sa nič nemusí nahrávať ani sťahovať.

Žiadne fronty, žiadne vodoznaky a žiadny účet. Keď sa stránka načíta, nástroj funguje aj na pomalom pripojení.

Tips for the best result

• Folders are kept, but empty folders are not, because only files are repacked. File dates are kept, while Linux permissions such as the executable flag are not.
• The whole archive and all unpacked files are held in memory at the same time. For archives of several gigabytes, use a computer rather than a phone.
• A 7Z file made here uses Deflate, the same method as ZIP, so it is not smaller than a ZIP. Choose 7Z only when the recipient needs it.
• Split archives such as .part1.rar or .7z.001 cannot be converted, because the tool reads one file at a time. Join the parts with desktop software first.

How RAR na ZIP works in your browser

Archives are opened with libarchive, the same library used by many operating systems, compiled to WebAssembly. It reads RAR, ZIP, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2 and XZ files and lists every file inside.

The extracted files are then packed into the new archive format in your browser. ZIP and GZIP use the Deflate algorithm, and folder structure and file names are kept.

Privacy and security

Most online converters upload your files to a server, process them there and keep a copy for some time. RAR na ZIP works differently: the code is downloaded to your browser once, and your files are read and written only on your device.

You can check this yourself: after the page has loaded, turn off your internet connection and the tool still works. This makes it safe for contracts, IDs, medical records, private photos and unreleased work.
