Extract .tar.zst Files Online

How to extract a tar.zst file online (free)

1. Drop your .tar.zst or .tzst file onto the box above, or click to choose it.
2. The zstd layer is decompressed and the tar unpacked in one step — no waiting for an upload.
3. Download files individually, grab them all, or repack everything into a .zip.

zstd tarballs, without updating anything

A .tar.zst bundles files with tar and compresses them with Zstandard — fast to make, very fast to open. It has become the default for Arch Linux packages, shows up in Docker and container layers, and is spreading through modern backup tooling. Older archive managers often can't read it yet. This tool handles zstd natively: powered by libarchive compiled to WebAssembly, it decompresses the zstd stream and unpacks the tar in a single step.

One step, not two

No need to run zstd -d to get a .tar and then open that separately. Here it's automatic — and the same page handles .tar.gz, .tar.xz and .tar.bz2, since the compression is detected from the file contents, not the file name.

Is it really private?

Yes. There is no upload step and no account. Open your browser's network tab and watch: no request carries your file data. The tool works offline once the page has loaded.

Is there a size limit?

There's no artificial cap. The tarball is unpacked in memory, so the real limit is your device's available RAM.
