Convert RAR to ZIP.
Open-anywhere ZIP from RAR — converted on your own device.

Files never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser, nothing touches a server — tools you've used even work offline.
RAR needs WinRAR or 7-Zip; ZIP opens with a double-click on every Windows, Mac and Linux machine made this century. Drop a RAR, get the same files repacked as a ZIP — extraction and repacking run entirely in your browser, so the archive never touches a server.
How it works
- Drop files anywhere on the page, click to browse, or paste with ⌘V.
- Pick a quality or preset — or set an exact target size and let the tool find it.
- Compress, compare before/after, and download — individually or as a ZIP.
Folder structure survives the trip
The conversion unpacks the RAR in memory and rebuilds the same tree as a ZIP — nested folders, file names and timestamps travel along; nothing is flattened. If you only need the files themselves rather than a new archive, the archive tool extracts each entry as its own download. Prefer a smaller result over a universal one? Repack into 7Z with ZIP to 7Z instead.
Frequently asked questions
Why convert RAR to ZIP?
Compatibility. ZIP opens natively everywhere — no extra software, no nag screens. RAR needs WinRAR, 7-Zip or a paid unarchiver, which is exactly the kind of thing you cannot ask a client or a colleague to install just to open one attachment.
Does it handle password-protected RARs?
Yes — type the password into the panel and the archive decrypts locally, both RAR4 and RAR5 encryption. The repacked ZIP itself is not encrypted; protect it again on the archive tab if you need to.
Why is there no ZIP to RAR converter?
RAR compression is proprietary — its author licenses decompression freely but has never released the compressor, so no website or library anywhere can legally create RAR files. Every honest tool converts out of RAR, never into it. 7Z is the free format that compresses comparably.
Is it private?
Yes. Archives are built and converted entirely in your browser — neither the archive nor the files inside it are ever uploaded, and any password you set is applied locally. The server does nothing but deliver this page. Want proof? Run one file through, switch your connection off, and run another — it still works.
