What RAR versions do you support?

We support all RAR versions including RAR3 (WinRAR 3.x-4.x) with AES-128 encryption and RAR5 (WinRAR 5.x and newer) with AES-256 encryption. Both encrypted content and encrypted filename archives are fully supported.

How long does RAR password recovery take?

Recovery time depends on the encryption type and password complexity. RAR3 archives are faster to process due to simpler key derivation. Simple passwords (common words, short length) are often found within minutes. With our Deep Recovery + AI plan ($9.99 + $49.99 on success), most recoveries complete within 24 hours.

Can you open multi-part RAR archives?

Yes. For multi-part (split) RAR archives, you only need to upload the first part — typically named .rar or .part1.rar. The encryption header we need for recovery is contained in the first volume.

What if the archive is corrupted?

We need at least the encryption header to be intact for password recovery to work. If your RAR file is partially corrupted but the header is undamaged, recovery is still possible. Upload your file and our system will automatically assess whether recovery can proceed.

Do you support WinRAR encrypted filenames?

Yes, we fully handle both modes: archives with only encrypted file content, and archives where filenames are also encrypted (the 'Encrypt file names' option in WinRAR). Our recovery process works the same for both.

Is my archive content safe?

Absolutely. Only the encrypted header is extracted and analyzed — your actual files inside the archive are never accessed, opened, or stored. All uploads are transmitted over TLS 1.3. Customer content is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed and no later than 14 days after upload. Terminal content is generally removed within 72 hours; delivery access may expire earlier.

Quick answer

Open a protected RAR archive safely

Upload the archive to identify its protection first. Fast Check handles common candidates; a targeted search is available only if it is relevant to the archive and what you remember.

Recovery process

How it works

1
Upload RAR File
Upload your password-protected RAR archive. We detect the encryption version (RAR3/RAR5) and run a free initial check against common passwords.
2
Server-Powered Recovery
Our powerful servers attack the AES encryption using dictionary attacks, brute force, and intelligent pattern matching — thousands of attempts per second.
3
Extract Your Files
Once the password is recovered, you receive it via email. Use it to extract your files with WinRAR, 7-Zip, or any compatible tool. Simple PINs (up to 4 digits) and top 10K common passwords are FREE if found during Fast Check.

RAR3 (Older)

Older RAR archive protection can follow a different path. The file is assessed first.

WinRAR 3.x - 4.x
AES-128 encryption
Simpler key derivation

RAR5 (Modern)

Modern RAR protection is deliberately resilient. Password details support a more focused search.

WinRAR 5.x and newer
AES-256 encryption
PBKDF2 (262K iterations)
