RAR to ZIP Converter

About This Tool

This tool converts RAR archives to ZIP within a web-based workflow. It targets developers, IT teams, educators, and end users who routinely receive RAR packages and need a widely compatible ZIP output for distribution or cross‑platform access. It is designed for environments where installing native archive utilities is impractical or prohibited, enabling quick migration of packaged data without local software.
Conceptually, the tool validates the input, handles optional passwords, and extracts files from the RAR set while preserving metadata. It then re-packages the extracted files into a ZIP archive with a configurable compression level, maintaining the original folder structure and file names where possible. It uses streaming processing to limit memory usage, supports ZIP64 for large outputs, and converts names to UTF-8 to maximize cross‑platform compatibility.
Typical use cases include distributing software bundles, classroom datasets, backups, and research materials originally delivered as RAR archives. Its value lies in online accessibility, password-respecting extraction when a password is provided, and the ability to tailor compression settings. The tool is not intended to repair damaged archives, crack passwords, or convert to formats other than ZIP.
