How it works
A ZIP or a 7z. There is no format to pick and no setting to change.
Every file comes out into one folder, with clashing names handled for you.
Open them, or carry on with Batch rename or Sort & route in the same app.
New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step
What it opens
There is nothing to set. The format is read from the file itself, and everything inside lands in one place. Archives with a password are not supported yet.
The format clients and websites send most.
Best for deliveries, downloads and email attachments.
Opened without installing anything else.
Best for large downloads and asset packs.
Two files with the same name both come out.
Best for archives packed from many folders.
Every setting, explained in the Extract archive guide No settings
The alternative
Your system and free unarchivers open more formats and keep folders as they were packed. For a ZIP or 7z you want flat and safe, Hangar does the job without another app.
Who uses it
Unpack a client’s ZIP of mood shots into one folder you can browse at a glance.
Hangar for photographersOpen a 7z of sound effects or overlays and get every file in one folder, ready to import.
Hangar for video and social creatorsUnpack a ZIP from a supplier knowing it cannot drop files anywhere but your output folder.
One app, one payment
The same app zips, unzips, renames and sorts whole folders, and handles your PDFs, images, video and audio too. One payment covers every tool.
Save it as a chain
Unpack a delivery, give every file a clear name, then route them into folders by type.
How chains workEvery tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.

ZIP and 7z files, with the format detected automatically so you do not have to choose. RAR, TAR, GZ, BZ2 and XZ files are not supported yet.
Opening encrypted archives is not supported yet. The tool unpacks standard ZIP and 7z files.
