How to open a RAR file online.
Three steps, about a minute, and nothing left behind.
It opens in this tab
Extraction runs on your device with libarchive, compiled to WebAssembly.
Save what you need
Single files, or everything as one ZIP.
Online, but nothing is uploaded.
An online tool doesn’t have to see your files. OpenRAR’s page is the extractor.
Upload-based sites
Send the whole archive to a server, extract it there, then let you download the result. Your files pass through someone else’s computer.
OpenRAR
Loads the extractor into this page once, then works on your device. The archive never leaves it.
Check it yourself
Once the page has loaded, turn Wi-Fi off: OpenRAR keeps working, because nothing needs the network.
More ways to use OpenRAR.
The same private extractor, for other jobs. Every archive works on every page.
Questions.
Can I open a RAR file online without uploading it?
Yes. OpenRAR runs the extraction in your browser, so the RAR file is opened on your device and never sent to a server.
Is it safe to open RAR files online?
With OpenRAR, nothing is uploaded and nothing is run: files are only listed and saved. As with any download, open what’s inside only if you trust where the archive came from.
Is there a size limit?
About 2 GB per archive on a computer (500 MB on phones), because everything is processed in the browser’s memory.
Does it work on Windows and Chromebook?
Yes, in any recent browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
