About WinRAR

An archive manager for RAR and ZIP files

WinRAR is an archive manager from RARLAB, which describes its site as the home of the WinRAR and RAR archivers. The software compresses, packs and unpacks files. It writes new archives as RAR or ZIP, and opens those and other compressed files fetched from the web. The vendor adds that it provides full RAR and ZIP support and can also decompress formats such as CAB and GZIP.

What people use it for

The company points to a few everyday jobs: backing up data, reducing the size of email attachments, and extracting files that arrive in compressed form. Its tagline promises better compression, easier use and a lower price, with all extras included.

Versions and languages

Builds exist for 64-bit and 32-bit systems, and the vendor publishes release and beta versions side by side. At the latest update, the release version was 7.23 and a 7.30 beta was available. The release is offered in around forty interface languages, among them Arabic, Armenian, Chinese in both scripts, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese, while the beta covers a smaller set. A separate RAR app for Android is also offered.
