When to use this
  • Opening a .7z download on a Mac or Chromebook
  • Sharing the contents of a 7z archive with people who only have ZIP support
  • Converting archives for an upload form that accepts only ZIP
  • Repacking datasets for tools that read ZIP files directly

Free and private. Everything runs on your own device, with no account and no uploads.

7-Zip's .7z format compresses very well, which is why software, game mods and large datasets are often distributed in it, but neither Windows (before recent versions), macOS nor most phones open it without extra software. This converter extracts a .7z archive in your browser and repacks the contents as a standard ZIP, keeping folder structure and file names, so it opens anywhere.

Often, yes. 7z's LZMA compression is stronger than ZIP's Deflate, so the ZIP may be noticeably larger. The files inside are identical.

Not reliably in the browser, so 7z is offered as an input only. Convert to ZIP or TAR.GZ instead.

No. Extract password-protected archives in 7-Zip with the password first.

Everything is extracted into memory before repacking, so a laptop handles archives of a few gigabytes; phones are better with smaller ones.

Pro tips
  • ·Keep the original .7z for archiving: it is smaller
  • ·Split archives (.7z.001, .002) need to be joined in 7-Zip first
  • ·For Linux servers, ZIP to TAR.GZ is often the better final format
