# rclone archive extract
Extract archives from source to destination.
## Synopsis
Extract the archive contents to a destination directory auto detecting
the format. See [rclone archive create](/commands/rclone_archive_create/)
for the archive formats supported.
For example on this archive:
```
$ rclone archive list --long remote:archive.zip
6 2025-10-30 09:46:23.000000000 file.txt
0 2025-10-30 09:46:57.000000000 dir/
4 2025-10-30 09:46:57.000000000 dir/bye.txt
```
You can run extract like this
```
$ rclone archive extract remote:archive.zip remote:extracted
```
Which gives this result
```
$ rclone tree remote:extracted
/
├── dir
│ └── bye.txt
└── file.txt
```
The source or destination or both can be local or remote.
Filters can be used to only extract certain files:
```
$ rclone archive extract archive.zip partial --include "bye.*"
$ rclone tree partial
/
└── dir
└── bye.txt
```
The [archive backend](/archive/) can also be used to extract files. It
can be used to read only mount archives also but it supports a
different set of archive formats to the archive commands.
```
rclone archive extract [flags] <source> <destination>
```
## Options
```
-h, --help help for extract
```
See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
