File Decompressor - Ultimate Extraction Tool

File decompression is a fundamental part of managing digital files. Whether you're unpacking archives downloaded from the internet, restoring data from backups, or automating server-side data workflows, the ability to decompress files efficiently is crucial.

File Decompressor is a software utility that extracts files from compressed archives (such as .zip, .rar, .7z, .tar.gz)—including support for multi-part or split files, and password-protected archives. Compression reduces file size by using algorithms that remove redundancies. Decompression is the reverse operation—restoring files to their original or usable format.

From ZIP and RAR to TAR and 7Z, compressed archives come in various forms — and many tools only support a limited selection. This creates a barrier when dealing with less common or platform-specific formats. File Decompressor solves this by supporting an extensive list of 78 formats, allowing you to extract any archive file without hassle. Here is a sample of popular and uncommon archive types our tool can handle:

Common Formats: ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ
Disk Image Archives: ISO, IMG, DMG
Old/Legacy: ARJ, LZH, LHA, CAB
Linux & Unix: TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, TAR.XZ, DEB, RPM
Specialized Formats: XAR, WIM, CPIO, LZMA

If the archive is split into parts (multi-volume archive), the tool can identify the parts, ensure none are missing, verify data integrity, and reassemble them automatically before extracting their contents. Note: these parts must be located in the same folder.

Here are popular split file formats our tool can handle:

RAR: .part1.rar, .part2.rar or .rar, .r00, .r01
7Z, BZ2, GZ, TAR, WIM, XZ, ZIP: .001, .002
Generic numbered files: .001, .002 without compression info, often used in conjunction with a separate joiner

Encrypted archives are often used to protect sensitive documents. Our tool supports password and encryption functionality:

Detect encryption automatically
Prompt users for passwords.
Support AES-256 and RAR5 encryption

When decompressing files, especially in bulk, name collisions are inevitable. A file with the same name and path might already exist. The tool provide overwrite options:

Always Overwrite: Automatically replaces any existing files with the version from the archive.
Never Overwrite / Skip Existing Files: Leaves existing files untouched and only extracts new ones.
Prompt Before Overwrite: Asks the user what to do on a case-by-case basis.
Rename Automatically: Preserves both versions by renaming the new file
