About RAR to ZIP

Use this RAR to ZIP converter when a download or an email attachment arrives as a .rar file and the device in front of you can't open it. Macs, iPhones, many Android phones and older Windows PCs need an extra app for RAR, and a work laptop may not let you install one. ZIP, on the other hand, opens with the tools every system already has. We unpack the RAR on our server and pack the same files and folders into a standard ZIP. TAR.GZ and ISO files are handled by the other archive converters.

If the RAR is locked, enter its password and we'll use it to open the archive. You can also set the ZIP compression, from No compression for speed to Maximum for the smallest file. Uploads travel over HTTPS and are deleted automatically after one hour.

How to use RAR to ZIP

  2. 2
    Add the password if needed

    Open More options and type the archive password if the RAR is locked. The ZIP compression level is there too.

  3. 3
    Click RAR to ZIP

    The button starts the job. Your archive is unpacked and repacked on our server in its own isolated process.

    Save the new file when it's ready. It opens with a double-click on Windows and Mac.

Why use Cubfile for this

  • Opens on almost any device

    ZIP works with the tools already on Windows, Mac, iPhone and most Android phones, so whoever gets the file doesn't need WinRAR.

  • Works with password-protected RARs

    Enter the original password and we can open the archive for conversion. Without the right password, a locked RAR stays locked for everyone.

  • Pick your compression

    Choose No compression, Fast, Normal or Maximum to trade speed for size.

  • Deleted after one hour

    Your RAR travels over HTTPS, is handled in an isolated process and is erased automatically after an hour. We never look at, share or sell your files.

FAQ

RAR to ZIP: questions and answers

Will converting RAR to ZIP change my files?
No. The files inside are unpacked and packed again unchanged; only the container switches from RAR to ZIP. Folders come across as they are. A 7Z archive can be repacked the same way with 7Z to ZIP.
Why is my ZIP bigger than the RAR was?
RAR usually compresses a little tighter than ZIP. Pick Maximum under ZIP compression for the smallest result. Photos and videos inside barely change size either way, because they're already compressed.
How do I convert a password-protected RAR?
Open More options, type the password in "Archive password (if it has one)" and start the conversion. Without the correct password, we can't open a locked RAR either.
Is RAR to ZIP free, and how big can the file be?
Visitors get 2 tasks in total and free accounts 2 tasks per day, with files up to 50 MB. VIP removes the task limit and accepts files up to 1 GB.
Is it safe to upload a private archive?
Yes. The upload is encrypted with HTTPS, each job runs in its own isolated process, and files are deleted automatically after one hour. We never look at, share or sell them, or use them to train AI.
Share RAR to ZIP with a friendIt runs in any browser, and they can try it without signing up.
