Common questions
Can I preview files inside a CAB archive?
Yes. The extractor renders a browsable file tree so you can inspect folders and download individual files before exporting everything.
Does this support password-protected CAB archives?
When encryption is detected, you'll be prompted for the password and the archive will be decrypted entirely in your browser.
