About 7z / TAR / GZIP Extractor

This archive extractor opens common developer, Linux, backup, and compressed archive formats directly in your browser. It handles 7z archives, uncompressed TAR files, TAR.GZ and TGZ bundles, and single-file GZIP streams.

Use it when someone sends a compressed package and you need to inspect or download the files without installing desktop archive software. The extracted files are held locally in browser memory until you download them or clear the tool.

Private browser extraction

Archive extraction runs locally with WebAssembly and JavaScript. Your archive is not uploaded to a server, and extracted files remain on your device.

How to Extract Archives

1

Upload

Choose a .7z, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .gz, or .gzip file.

2

Password

Enter a password if the archive is encrypted.

3

Extract

The tool decompresses files locally in your browser.

4

Download

Save one file or download all extracted files as a ZIP.

Supported Archive Types

Archive containers

  • 7z archives commonly created by 7-Zip.
  • TAR archives used for Unix, Linux, and source packages.
  • TAR.GZ and TGZ bundles that combine TAR packaging with GZIP compression.
  • Nested folders and file paths are preserved when downloading all as ZIP.

GZIP streams

  • Single .gz and .gzip files are decompressed into one output file.
  • Use TAR.GZ or TGZ for archives that contain multiple files.
  • Already compressed media may not shrink much inside archive formats.
  • Encrypted archives may require a password before extraction succeeds.

Tips and Limitations

Large archives use memory

Browser extraction keeps archive data and extracted files in memory. Very large archives can be slower or may exceed available browser memory on older devices.

GZIP is usually one file

A plain .gz file compresses a single file. Multi-file Unix packages usually use .tar.gz or .tgz, where TAR stores the file list and GZIP compresses the whole bundle.

Download all creates a ZIP

Browsers cannot save folders directly, so the batch download option repackages extracted files into a standard ZIP archive for convenience.
