CAB (Cabinet, .cab) is Microsoft's container format for compressed files, common in Windows drivers, older installer packages and update bundles. A CAB can hold one or several files compressed with MSZIP or LZX.

Extraction runs locally via libarchive (WebAssembly, in the browser) - no Windows tool to install, no upload, offline too. This lets you open CAB packages even on macOS, Linux or a phone, where there is otherwise no native tool for them.

Typical case: a downloaded Windows driver or an old installer package arrives as .cab and you only want to inspect the one contained file, without running the whole setup. Here you pull the content out directly.

In 3 steps

  1. Drop or pick your CAB archive.
  2. The tool extracts into individual files locally.
  3. Download the files individually or as a ZIP.

Limitations: Some very old or multi-part CAB chains (several .cab files in sequence) are read only individually, not automatically chained together. Folder structure is flattened on download (file names only).
