WinRAR is a file archiving utility used to compress files or groups of files into an archive. It reduces the size of files so they can be emailed or stored using less disk space. WinRAR is only available for Windows but can be run on Mac and Linux using compatibility layer applications like Wine.
WinRAR allows you to efficiently compress your files and uncompress all popular archive formats. It utilizes a special compression algorithm that compresses multimedia, executable, and object library files better than standard compression. If you have large file archives, it also allows you to split them into separate volumes to easily store on different disks.
WinRAR is a good file archiver with special features not available with basic archiving applications. If you need to compress certain files with more efficiency or split large archives, it is a great tool.
