About Archive Files Converter

The Archive Files Converter repackages an archive from one format to another: convert between ZIP, 7z, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, GZ and BZ2, with RAR accepted as input. Upload an archive, pick a target and download the repacked file — useful when a recipient cannot open the format you were given.

The tool detects the source format from the file itself — it even distinguishes a gzipped tarball from a plain gzipped file by inspecting the stream — and only offers target formats the server can actually produce, so every listed option works. Single-stream formats like GZ and BZ2 compress exactly one file, and the page says so up front.

Conversion happens locally on this server using the standard archive tools; your file is never passed to a third-party service, and uploaded archives and results are cleaned up automatically. The tool is free to use.

How to use Archive Files Converter

  1. Drop your archive onto the page or click to browse — ZIP, 7z, RAR, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, GZ or BZ2, up to the shown size limit.
  2. Check the detected source format shown under the file.
  3. Pick a target format; unavailable options and the source format itself are disabled.
  4. Click Convert and wait while the archive is unpacked and repacked.
  5. Download the converted file, or use “Repack to another format” to produce a second variant without re-uploading.

Frequently asked questions

Input: ZIP, 7z, RAR, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, GZ and BZ2. Output: ZIP, 7z, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, GZ and BZ2. The exact targets offered depend on which archive tools the server has available.

No. RAR is a proprietary format with no free tool that can create it, so RAR works as input only — a common request is exactly this direction: converting a RAR you received into a ZIP everyone can open.

GZ and BZ2 are single-stream compressors that hold exactly one file. For an archive containing multiple files, choose TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, ZIP or 7z instead, which bundle a file tree.

The archive is unpacked and repacked locally on this server using standard command-line archive tools — it is never sent to any third-party service — and uploads and results are cleaned up automatically after a short time.

Yes. The upload area shows the current maximum size in MB; files over that limit are rejected before conversion starts.
