Archive Utility brings desktop-class archive management to iPhone and iPad. Whether you're extracting a zipped email attachment, opening a multi-part RAR archive from cloud storage, or packaging photos into a password-protected ZIP to share with colleagues — it handles everything locally on your device with blazing speed and zero data sent to any server.

Key Features
ZIP Compression
Create ZIP archives from any selection of files and folders — preserving the original directory structure hierarchy inside the ZIP. Unique filenames are generated automatically to avoid overwriting existing archives.
Universal Archive Extraction
Extracts ZIP, ZIPX, RAR (including multi-part and encrypted), 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, CAB, MSI, ISO, CDI, NRG, MDF, BIN, XAR, RPM, deb, ALZ, ARJ, LZH, Ace, Zoo, and many more legacy formats — one of the widest format support lists on iOS.
Password-Protected Archives
Create password-protected ZIP files for secure sharing, and open password-protected ZIP and RAR archives — full encryption support on both compression and extraction.
Deep Files & Cloud Integration
Built on iOS Document Browser — access files from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Box, and any third-party cloud storage provider directly within the app. Inherit tags and favourites from the Files app.
Native File Management
Browse, navigate, move, rename, duplicate, delete, and organise files and folders with tags. Drag and drop to select and organise files, and share via the Share sheet or drag-and-drop to other apps.
Built-In File Preview
Preview supported files and archive contents directly within the app — no need to extract before viewing. Open archive files received as email attachments or from other apps via Copy to Archive Utility.
PDF & SWF Content Extraction
Extract raster images from PDF documents and media files from Flash SWF files — useful capabilities beyond standard archive extraction that most iOS archive tools don't offer.
Fully On-Device & Private
All compression and extraction runs locally on your iPhone or iPad — no internet connection required, no files uploaded to any server.
