How it works

How to convert 7Z to ZIP

  1. Add your 7Z files

    Drop 7Z files onto the converter, click to choose them, or paste from the clipboard. Add as many as you like.

  2. Check the settings

    There's nothing to set. If the archive is password-protected, you'll be asked for the password.

  3. Download your ZIP archives

    Each file gets its own download button as soon as it's ready. Download all saves everything in one ZIP file.

The formats

7Z and ZIP at a glance

  • What is a 7Z file?

    7Z is the archive format of the free 7-Zip program. Its LZMA2 compression usually makes smaller archives than ZIP, and it supports strong AES-256 encryption. Windows 11 opens 7Z files since a 2023 update, but older Windows, macOS, and phones need an extra app. It opens in 7-Zip, WinRAR, The Unarchiver, Keka, PeaZip, and File Explorer on Windows 11.

  • What is a ZIP file?

    ZIP bundles many files and folders into one compressed file. Windows, macOS, iPhone, and Android all open ZIP files without extra software, which makes it the safest format for sending a batch of files. It opens in Windows File Explorer, macOS Finder, the Files apps on iPhone and Android, 7-Zip, WinRAR, and The Unarchiver.

Good to know

What changes when you convert 7Z to ZIP

  • Every file and folder is copied into a standard ZIP with the same structure.
  • Encrypted 7Z files can't be opened by the browser engine. Decrypt them in their original app first.
  • Archives larger than about 2 GB can run out of memory in the browser.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is this 7Z to ZIP converter free?

Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the conversion happens on your own device rather than on a server.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser with libarchive compiled to WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device. Once the page has loaded, it even works offline.

Can it open password-protected 7Z files?

No. The browser archive engine can't decrypt encrypted 7Z files. Decrypt the archive in its original app first, then convert it here.

Can I convert several 7Z files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like. They're converted one after another, and you can download each ZIP file as soon as it's ready or all of them in one ZIP file.

Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows?

Yes. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, on computers and phones.

What can open a ZIP file?

Windows File Explorer, macOS Finder, the Files apps on iPhone and Android, 7-Zip, WinRAR, and The Unarchiver.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: everyday files are fine, and a computer can usually handle archives up to about 2 GB.
