How to convert RAR to 7Z

  1. Add your RAR archives

    Drop RAR files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. 7Z is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the 7Z, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The RAR to 7Z converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your archives are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

RAR to 7Z: what to expect

RAR needs extra software to open on most computers. 7z usually compresses tighter than ZIP. RAR is at home in opening downloads that arrive as RAR; 7Z is the usual choice for the smallest archives.

A password-protected archive is refused, since its contents cannot be read without the password. RAR can be read but never written, because the format's licence does not allow it; that is why there is no conversion to RAR.

RAR vs 7Z

RAR

RAR archive

RAR is WinRAR's proprietary archive format. Free tools can extract it, but only licensed software may create one, so the practical move is to repackage its contents as ZIP.

7Z

7-Zip archive

7z is the format of the open-source 7-Zip tool. It usually compresses noticeably better than ZIP, at the cost of needing an extra app on many computers.

Questions

Are my archives uploaded anywhere?

No. The RAR to 7Z conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting RAR to 7Z?

No. The files inside are repackaged unchanged.

Can I convert several RAR files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert RAR to 7Z on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the RAR file, press Convert and save the 7Z. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. An archive can be up to 500 MB, unpack to at most 1 GB and hold up to 50,000 files; beyond those limits the page says so. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
