How do I convert RAR to ZIP?

Choose the RAR source file you want to convert.

Upload it to rar.now, select ZIP, and start conversion.

Download and review the result before sharing or archiving it.

Reasons to convert RAR to ZIP usually come down to compatibility, file-size, or specific feature requirements. Common situations:

• An app or platform only accepts ZIP uploads.
• You need a feature unique to ZIP (e.g. transparency, vector scaling, animation, multi-page pages, etc.) that RAR doesn't provide.
• You're optimising file size — modern formats often produce smaller files than the older format you started with.
• You need a single archival format across a project so files behave consistently in the same viewer.

1. Open the RAR → ZIP tool on rar.now.
2. Drag your RAR file onto the drop zone, or click Select files. You can drop a whole folder of files at once.
3. The output is fixed to ZIP. If the format supports extra options (page size, transparency background, quality, EXIF stripping), tweak them in the right-hand panel.
4. Click Convert. The job runs on our server and finishes in a few seconds for typical photos.
5. Download the result. Files stay in storage for 24 hours and are then permanently deleted.

The entire flow is free for the first 10 jobs per day with no signup required. A free account doubles that quota; a premium plan removes the limit entirely.

• Keep a copy of the original file.
• Use a valid, non-corrupted source file.
• Review the converted result before deleting the original.
