About the BZ2 format
BZ2 (bzip2) compresses slower than gzip but often produces smaller files for text-heavy data.
Frequently asked questions
Can it open password-protected BZ2 files?
Yes — enter the password in the options panel and the archive is decrypted locally during extraction.
Does it support multi-volume BZ2 files?
Yes — add every part of the archive (e.g. .001/.002 or .part1/.part2) and the volumes are reassembled automatically.
Is there a file size limit?
No server limit — everything is processed on your device. Very large archives use your device's memory.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Extraction happens entirely inside your browser — your files never leave your device.
