Good to know
- ALZ is an old format that today's computers rarely open by themselves. RAR files are much easier to open, share and keep.
- Creating RAR files needs RarLab's licensed rar program, so RAR files are made on our server, never in your browser.
- Symbolic links, hard links and special files (such as devices) are left out of the result for safety; the page tells you when it does this.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting ALZ to RAR free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my ALZ files uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because creating RAR files needs RarLab's licensed rar program. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion.
Can I convert a password-protected ALZ file?
Yes. Click Options next to the file and enter its password. The RAR you get back is not password-protected.
How large can the ALZ file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Will the folders inside my ALZ be kept?
Yes. The RAR has the same folders and file names as the ALZ. Only links and special files are left out, and the page tells you if it did that.
Can I convert several ALZ files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
