What is RAR to ZIP conversion?

RAR and ZIP are both archive formats. This page unpacks an unlocked RAR and packs those files into a ZIP.

RAR to ZIP converter features

Save a RAR archive as a ZIP file you can open without WinRAR.

  • RAR to ZIP

    Upload a .rar file and download a .zip archive with the same files.

  • Folders kept

    Directory paths stay in the ZIP, so a nested RAR unpacks as nested folders.

  • RAR 4 and RAR 5

    Unlocked RAR 4 and RAR 5 archives are read, including solid archives.

  • Browser-side conversion

    The archive stays on your device. No account is required to convert RAR to ZIP.

Tips for converting RAR to ZIP

What this converter keeps, and which archives it leaves alone.
  • 01

    Use an unlocked archive

    A password-protected RAR is rejected. Unlock it in the program that created it, then upload the unlocked file.

  • 02

    Use one .rar file

    Split volumes such as .part1.rar and .r00 need the full set. This page accepts a single complete archive.

  • 03

    Watch the size

    The RAR can be up to 80 MB, with up to 2,000 files and 200 MB after unpacking.

Good uses for a RAR to ZIP converter

When a ZIP is easier to open than a RAR.

  1. Open a RAR without WinRAR: Turn a .rar into a .zip that macOS, Windows, and phones can open.

  2. Send files to someone else: A ZIP is the archive most mail and shared drives already accept.

  3. Keep the folder layout: Nested folders in the RAR stay nested in the ZIP.
