One tool for every archive format
Archive Password Recovery combines our ZIP, RAR and 7-Zip capabilities in a single edition, the right choice if you deal with more than one archive type, or you're not sure which format your file is.
- ZIP & ZIPX: legacy ZipCrypto and modern WinZip AES (128/256-bit).
- RAR: RAR3 and RAR5, header- or data-encrypted.
- 7-Zip:
.7zwith AES-256.
It detects the format and its encryption automatically, so you can just open the file and start.
What to expect
In every case it tries the most likely candidates first, so short and human-chosen passwords are very recoverable across all three formats.
- Legacy ZipCrypto is fast to search on any modern PC, whatever the password.
- WinZip AES, RAR3, RAR5 and 7-Zip use slow key derivation, so strong passwords take longer - and this is where GPU acceleration and the Smart and dictionary methods pay off, testing far more candidates each second.
A long, truly random password on one of the modern AES-based formats is the one genuinely hard case that no recovery tool can promise to solve; Krylack Archive Password Recovery gives it the best possible chance.
Recovery methods
- Dictionary: real words and known password lists, with optional rules.
- Smart: masks and patterns for anything you remember about the password.
- Brute-force: every combination, best suited to short passwords.
Frequently asked
Which formats does this cover?
ZIP, RAR (RAR3 and RAR5) and 7-Zip (.7z), including archives whose file names are hidden by header encryption.
Should I buy this or a single-format edition?
If you only ever deal with one format, the matching single edition is all you need. Choose Archive if you work across ZIP, RAR and 7-Zip; it costs less than buying two singles.
