Questions

About converting RAR to ZIP.

Can I convert a password protected RAR?

No. Encrypted archives are rejected with a message, as entering a password is not supported yet.

Do split RAR archives work?

Single RAR files in RAR4 or RAR5 format work. Archives split into several parts, such as part1.rar and part2.rar, cannot be converted yet.

Are the folders of my RAR kept?

Yes. The ZIP has the same folders and file names as your RAR, including names with accents or other alphabets.

Will the ZIP file have a watermark?

No. Converted files never get a watermark, free conversions included.

What happens to my files after the conversion?

Your files are processed on servers in the EU and deleted automatically after 24 hours.
