RAR is a proprietary archive format developed by Eugene Roshal. It offers advanced compression capabilities and supports features like error recovery and file spanning, making it popular for compressing large files.
RAR files are widely used for distributing software, media, and documents online. However, they require special software to extract, such as WinRAR or other compatible tools.
How to open RAR files
RAR files can be opened using WinRAR, 7-Zip, PeaZip, or other compatible programs. Native support is limited on most systems, so additional software is often required.
