WinRAR is a powerful file manager. You can back up your data and reduce the size of email attachments, unzip RAR, ZIP, and other files.
WinRAR is a file compression program that can be used to open, create and decompress RAR, ZIP, and other formats. The latest version also supports RAR5, the new compression algorithm.
Why use WinRAR?
WinRAR is a program that compresses files so that they occupy less space on your hard drive. It supports three compression formats, ZIP, RAR, and the new RAR5 format; Introduced with this version, RAR5 offers a better compression rate. It is a great alternative to WinZip and 7-Zip.
WinRAR gives you the option to protect the compressed file with a password using a 256-bit AES encryption algorithm. Perfect to hide your files from prying eyes!
The application can also create self-extracting files or files that are automatically decompressed with a double-click, as well as include improved features to repair damaged files.
With respect to decompression functions, WinRAR supports 15 different formats: RAR, ZIP, 7-Zip, ACE, ARJ, BZ2, CAB, GZip, ISO, JAR, LHZ, TAR, UUE, XZ, and Z.
The options menu is very detailed and allows you to configure each aspect of the program. It is definitely useful for the most demanding users but may end up confusing those who have less experience.
Open and create compressed files? A piece of cake ...
The main functions of WinRAR are easily accessible from the top bar of the interface: Wizard, Virus Scanning, functions to add/delete files and create self-extracting files.
To open a compressed file, simply right click on the file, click Extract file and then select the destination folder. You can directly run WinRAR and then, once inside the program, double-click on the file you want to unzip. The extraction of the files can be made even simpler by using the wizard.
However, to create a compressed file, you can right-click and select New / WinRAR File, then right-click on the file you want to compress and select Add to File. To create a file that decompresses itself, simply click on self-extracting in the WinRAR interface and click OK.
WinRAR integrates with Windows Explorer and can perform file compression/decompression with a single click from the context menu.
The design of the program, obsolete and outdated, has not been modified for this latest version.
Everything you need to compress and decompress files.
The most important innovation in this latest version is the introduction of the RAR5 compression format. However, it must be taken into account that WinRAR 5.0 users can only open files created in this format.
WinRAR is compatible with Windows 8, 7, Vista and XP, and the installation file is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit systems. In addition, it can be integrated with the antivirus installed on your PC and support a wide range of formats.
Unlike ZipGenius or 7-Zip, WinRAR is not free but includes many more features and configuration options. Compared with competitors such as WinZip, WinRAR also offers the best compression ratio and fastest speed.
Ultimately, if you need an efficient compression/decompression program with advanced features, then WinRAR is the way to go.
WinRAR is a Windows file archiver utility developed by Eugene Roshal of win.rar GmbH. You can create and view files in RAR or ZIP file formats and unpack numerous file formats. To allow the user to test the integrity of the files, WinRAR embeds CRC32 or BLAKE2 checksums for each file in each file. WinRAR supports the creation of encrypted, multi-part, self-extracting files.
WinRAR is an application for Windows only. The author also launched an application for Android called "RAR for Android", and the command line utilities called "RAR" and "UNRAR" (released since autumn 1993), available for macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and MS-DOS.
WinRAR Features:
Creation of RAR or ZIP compressed files.
Unpacking files ACE, ARJ, BZIP2, CAB, GZ, ISO, JAR, LHA, RAR, TAR, UUE, XZ, Z, ZIP, ZIPX, 7z, 001 (divided), as well as EXE files containing these file formats
Verification of the checksum (integrity) of the ACE, ARJ, BZIP2, CAB, GZ, BZIP2, RAR, XZ, ZIP, and 7z files
Multithreaded CPU compression and decompression
Compression and multi-process decompression of the CPU.
When creating RAR files:
Supports a maximum file size of 16 EiB, approximately 1.8 × 1019 bytes or 18 million TB
Compression dictionary from 1 MiB to 1 GiB (limited to 256 MiB in 32-bit editions of Windows, although 32-bit Windows can still unzip files with the 1 GiB dictionary, the default size is 32 MiB).
Options, enabled by default, to optimize the compression of executables for x86 processors and the obsolete 64-bit Itanium and delta compression.
The optional 256-bit BLAKE2 file hash can replace the checksum of the default 32-bit CRC32 file
Optional encryption using AES with a 256-bit key
Optional data redundancy is provided in the form of Reed-Solomon recovery records and recovery volumes, allowing reconstruction of damaged files (including the rebuilding of completely lost volumes)
Optional "Quick Open Record" to open RAR files faster
The possibility of creating files of multiple volumes (divided)
Ability to create self-extracting files (self-extracting, multi-volume files are supported.) Self-extracting can execute commands, such as executing a specific program before or after self-extracting.
Support for advanced options in the NTFS file system, such as NTFS symbolic and hard links
Compatibility with a maximum path length of up to 2048 characters (stored in the UTF-8 format)
Optional file comment (stored in UTF-8 format)
Optional preservation of the file timestamp: creation, last access, high precision modification times
Optional file deduplication
It's a powerful compression tool with many additional built-in functions to help you organize your compressed files.
It puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. By constantly creating smaller files, WinRAR is usually faster than the competition. This will save you disk space, transmission costs and also valuable work time.
It supports all popular compression formats (RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip).
It is ideal for multimedia files. Automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method. The special compression algorithm especially compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries.
It allows you to split files into separate volumes easily, so it is possible to save them to multiple disks, for example.
It allows you to create self-extracting and multivolume files.
The recovery and recovery log volumes allow you to rebuild even physically damaged files.
It is also ideal if you are sending data through the web. Its 256-bit password encryption and authenticated signature technology will give you the peace of mind you've been looking for.
It is easier to use than many other file cabinets with the inclusion of a special "Wizard" mode that allows instant access to basic file functions through a simple question and answer procedure. This avoids confusion in the early stages of use.
It is a test product, which means you have the opportunity to test it thoroughly. The program can be used completely free for 40 days!
