The RAR file format is a popular compressed file format created by Eugene Roshal. Like other compressed archive formats, RAR offers high compression rates no matter what type of file you are compressing.
Along with files, the RAR format will compress whole folder structures. This structure is then restored once the RAR file is extracted. It is possible to split very large files over several RAR files where needed and also add password protection to secure the archive contents.
There are several applications that can open RAR files, the most popular being WinRAR, which has free options for extracting from and compressing files to a RAR archive.
RAR file types aim to provide a highly compressible container in which to place other files with the aim to reduce storage space used or to conveniently distribute many files. The format for RAR archive file types is binary and, as such, contains a rigidly defined set of sequential bytes to identify the file type, regardless of what the filename extension may be.
Our RAR repair tools can read several archive formats and algorithms; this is necessary to retrieve potentially damaged data from an archive file. If the RAR file does need to be repaired, the actual compression algorithm will not be altered; only the data contained within will be changed.
