What is an .RAR file?

RAR files are archives that store one or more files compressed with RAR compression. Users typically create RAR files with WinRAR, a Windows program used to compress files to reduce the size of files for transportation or storage purposes. The RAR format was first introduced in the mid-1990s with the initial release of WinRAR and has since become a popular compression format along with ZIP and 7Z.

RAR files often store large files, such as a video or camera raw file or a collection of files. You may acquire a RAR file via email from a coworker or friend looking to share large or numerous files. Or you may download content in a RAR file from a website. File Viewer Plus is an excellent option for extracting its contents regardless of how you acquire a RAR archive.
