Wobzip – Your online file decompressor

Wobzip 1I do not have to bother about anything when I decompress any compressed file format as I have installed Win RAR and 7 Zip in my computer. Together they are able to handle most of the compressed file format. But what when you are elsewhere, and you do not have access to these utilities; then you can do it by uploading it to Wobzip.

Wobzip supports 16 file formats (7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS). What is interesting is that you can extract online files directly as well. Enter the URL and SNAP…. You can see the extracted files. You need not download the file and then upload it again to decompress it. You can also decompress the password protected files as well, provided you know the password.

Some of the uses I do are:

  1. Before downloading files zipped file from any unknown I check the content of the file as well as do quick virus scan online.
  2. Download the audio driver, only the INF file which I required. It helped me to avoid downloading the entire driver file of massive size.

You may also use another online service Krunchit. However, it has fewer format support compared to Wobzip. However, I also keep one USB pen drive handy with portable 7zip in it to be on the safer side, because internet connection is still not ubiquitous in India.
