Archive Extracter is 100% secure and private. All file processing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your files never leave your device or get uploaded to our servers. This ensures complete privacy and security for your sensitive documents.

We support 25+ archive formats including ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, XZ, ZSTD, CAB, and various TAR combinations (tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, etc.). Legacy formats like LZH, ARC, ARJ are detected but require specialized decoders.

There are no artificial file size limits imposed by Archive Extracter. The only limitation is your device's available memory. Unlike online services that restrict file sizes, you can extract large archives limited only by your browser's memory capacity.

Once the page loads, Archive Extracter works offline for most formats. The core extraction libraries are downloaded initially, allowing you to extract archives without an internet connection. Some specialized formats may require additional libraries.

Currently, Archive Extracter supports password-protected ZIP files through the JSZip library. Support for password-protected RAR and 7Z files is limited and depends on the specific encryption method used. We're working on expanding password support.

Archive Extracter works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. WebAssembly support is required for advanced formats like 7Z and RAR. Mobile browsers are also supported with the same functionality.

Extraction speed depends on the archive format, file size, and your device's performance. WebAssembly-powered extraction provides near-native performance. Simple ZIP files extract very quickly, while complex formats like RAR may take longer due to decompression algorithms.

Yes! Archive Extracter allows selective extraction. You can browse the archive contents, preview the file structure, and download individual files or folders instead of extracting everything. This saves time and bandwidth.
