Many a times somebody sends you a winrar archive file and you dont have the tool to open it then it becomes more of a problem. There are more than 20 formats of archiving and some of them need specific software with which they were created.

Wobzip is an answer to all these problems. It an online service which unzip or decompresses your archive files ( 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZHCHM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS
) on the fly which you can download. This is similar to the tool which allows you to check whats in the archive file before you download but this does a job of unzipper also.

Online service to uncompress / unzip archive files

Process of unzipping is simple. just upload the compressed file (  check the mentioned supported format )  and it gives you list of all the files inside it. Now all you need is to right click and save each of them one by one. You can also download them as .ZIP , thus it acts as a compression format converter also.

In case you want to un compress and then download any archive file which is available online you can use the direct url of that file here and it will download on their server and then unzip it for you. This reminds of the service which we use to download file withc extensions changed.

If you are worried that your files will be viewed don’t worry. Their engine after  un compressing the file it encodes with a hash and is also scanned for viruses.

They also use the 7ZIP algo for unzipping all the files on their server. I am not sure how internally it works but if they are creating the file list by just reading the content and then creating the link for download its good but if they actually unzip the complete file and then create the link it will put load on their server. Many a time people will like to see what is inside the zip file and if they don’t like it they can leave without deleting it.
