Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert RAR to ZIP online?
Simply upload your RAR file using our converter, select ZIP as the output format, and click convert. The tool will process your file and provide a download link for the converted ZIP file within seconds.
Is it safe to convert archives online?
Yes, our converter is completely safe. We use secure HTTPS connections, process files locally on our servers, and automatically delete all uploaded and converted files after processing. We never access or store your file contents.
What's the maximum file size I can convert?
Our free service supports files up to 100MB. For larger files, the conversion might take longer, but we support files up to 500MB. If you need to convert larger archives, consider splitting them first.
Can I convert password-protected archives?
Currently, our tool doesn't support converting password-protected archives directly. You'll need to extract the password-protected archive first, then create a new archive in your desired format.
Which archive format provides the best compression?
7Z typically provides the best compression ratios, followed by RAR and XZ. However, ZIP offers the best compatibility across different platforms and applications, making it ideal for sharing files.
Do I need to install any software to use this converter?
No! Our archive converter works entirely in your web browser. No downloads, installations, or registrations required. Just visit the page and start converting your files immediately.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Currently, our tool processes one archive at a time for optimal performance and security. However, you can quickly process multiple files by using the reset button after each conversion.
What happens if the conversion fails?
If conversion fails, check that your file isn't corrupted, is within size limits, and is in a supported format. Try refreshing the page and attempting the conversion again. Contact support if issues persist.
