02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- Folders (including empty ones) and file names in any language, such as Cyrillic or Polish, are kept
- RAR5 and solid archives are supported
- A standard ZIP that opens on Windows, macOS and Linux without extra software
- Files are compressed with Deflate, so the ZIP is smaller than the files inside
Good to know
- RAR does not hand over Linux permissions or modification dates, so every file in the result gets today's date and no execute flag.
- Password-protected RAR files and multi-part archives (.part1.rar, .part2.rar) are not supported.
- Links (shortcuts) and special files inside the archive are left out. Only real files and folders are converted.
- Archives up to 300 MB are accepted. An archive that unpacks to more than 500 MB or 20,000 files is refused.

RAR vs ZIP
RAR
A RAR file is a proprietary compressed archive format (from WinRAR) — common for software and media shared outside official channels, since it compresses tighter than ZIP but requires a paid license to create.
Used in: Software & media distribution · Older file-sharing sites
ZIP
A ZIP file bundles multiple files and folders into one compressed archive — the most universal archive format, readable natively on Windows, Mac, and Linux without installing anything extra.
Used in: File sharing · Software downloads · Email attachments
