Step by step
How to convert RAR to ZIP
- Choose the RAR archive and wait for its file list to appear.
- Select the regular files you want to keep.
- Save the selection as a ZIP. Check the new archive before deleting the original RAR.
Conversion means extracting and repackaging
RAR and ZIP use different archive structures. Conversion reads the files out of the RAR and writes them into a new ZIP. Renaming the extension cannot perform this operation, and the new ZIP may be larger than the original.
Your converted ZIP is not password-protected
The RAR to ZIP converter keeps selected regular-file bytes and safe relative paths, but does not preserve archive comments, ownership or special entries. Its output is an unencrypted ZIP. For password protection, download the files and create another ZIP with a password.
Local processing, practical limits
Selected files and passwords stay on your device. Browser memory and archive compression methods affect what can be processed. Use a desktop archiver for large backups, split volumes or filesystem metadata that must be restored exactly.
