Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your archive is unpacked on your own device and never leaves it, which makes it fast and completely private.

Can you convert ZIP to RAR as well?

No — and neither can any other free tool, honestly. RAR is a closed, proprietary format: its owner (RARLAB) only releases code for READING .rar files and their licence specifically forbids using it to create them. So no free software can produce a genuine .rar archive. Sites that claim to do it usually just rename the file, which produces a broken archive. If you need to share a compressed file, ZIP is the universal choice and opens everywhere.

Does it work with password-protected RAR files?

Yes — enter the password in the box before converting and the archive will be unpacked. Without the correct password the contents can't be read.

Does it support RAR5?

Yes, both the older RAR format and the newer RAR5 are supported. Multi-part (split) archives aren't supported.
