Free Archive Tools

An archive packs many files into one, and this page collects a free LK Forge tool for each format you meet — ZIP, TAR.GZ, TAR.XZ, TAR.BZ2, RAR, 7z, LZH, CAB and ISO. Open and extract archives right in your browser — unzip a .zip, open a .tar.gz or .iso, or convert a .rar or .7z into a ZIP. List what's inside and download the files. No installs, no uploads, no sign-up.

How the Archive Tools Work

Focused tools, one consistent interface. Pick a tool, drop in your archive, and download the files instantly — nothing is uploaded.

1

Pick a tool

Extract a ZIP or .tar.gz, or convert a RAR or 7z into a ZIP.

2

Drop in your archive

Drag a file onto the box or click to choose one. It's opened on your device, with nothing sent to a server and no sign-up.

3

Download the files

Save any file individually, grab them all at once, or repackage the archive into a single ZIP you can open natively on Windows and macOS.

Which formats are supported

What each tool can and cannot do, and the decoder it uses. Every decoder listed runs inside your browser — there is no server step in any of these tools.

Password-protected RAR and 7z archives are detected before extraction starts and refused with a message rather than a password prompt, and JSZip cannot read encrypted ZIP entries either, so there is no password field anywhere in this suite. TAR and GZ have no encryption of their own, which is why that column reads “not applicable”. ZIP is the output format every tool here writes, so there is nothing to convert a ZIP into.

Frequently Asked Questions

What archive tools does LK Forge offer?
A free set of browser archive tools: extractors for ZIP, TAR.GZ, TAR.XZ, TAR.BZ2, LZH/LHA, CAB and ISO, plus RAR to ZIP and 7z to ZIP converters. Each opens the archive in your browser, lists the files and downloads them, and any of them can also repackage the contents into a standard ZIP. Nothing is uploaded and there is no sign-up.
Are these archive tools free?
Yes, every LK Forge archive tool is completely free, with no account, no payment and no usage cap. Each one runs client-side in your browser, so your archives and their contents are never sent to a server or stored. No file-size ceiling is imposed here; the practical limit is your device's memory, because the whole archive is held in the tab while you work. Closing the tab discards everything you opened.
Do I need to install software to open these archives?
No, the LK Forge archive tools install nothing. There is nothing to download or install and no account to create — you do not need WinRAR or 7-Zip. Open a tool in any modern browser on desktop or mobile, drop in your archive, and download the files instantly.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No, the LK Forge archive tools upload nothing. All extraction and conversion happens locally on your device using JavaScript and WebAssembly, so your files never leave your browser. That makes the tools safe to use for private or sensitive archives.
