If one is not up-to-date with technological innovations, he/she may land up in a difficult situation when encountered with it. Especially saving data in personal computers and laptops has become quite common and one can save data in many formats or even receive them.

All of us save data in compressed form so that hard disc space will be available for usage and also it is much easier to upload and send via email to others. Normally over the years we are using winzip for compressing and sending data online but now a days we are coming across files with rar extensions and most of you must have received mails containing documents with rar extensions and wondering how to open it. If you receive files in different formats for example like rar then if you don't know to retrieve, it will consume lot of time. So let us see how to open a file saved with rar extension. Let us see how to open archives with rar extension.

Everything about Rar

If you happen to receive information in rar format in emails then do know that they are nothing but compressed archives meaning file may contain more than one or more documents. These are much more advanced and compressed version of zip files napped after Eugene Roshal, Russian software engineer as Roshal Archive that are most commonly used to send more than one document.

Advantages of Rar

Following are the advantages of data compressed in Rar format.

  1. Rar file condenses data around 30% more than zip files and also occupies less storage space.

  2. Rar files takes less time to download or upload and send.

  3. Rar files even have redundancy, which enables damaged files to be repaired and also supports international character sets enabling people to save files in languages other than English.

Drawbacks of Rar

  1. None of the existing operating systems has built in support for rar archives. One should download, install and make use of third party software in order to open the contents of rar archives.

  2. One cannot run the rar archives directly. The contents of the archives must be extracted to hard disc for usage.

Opening Rar files

There are numerous programs available online to open rar archives for both Mac and windows operating systems. One can even avail the facility of opening rar files online without downloading the required third party software. But If you want to use rar formats quite often then it is better to download the program.

Procedure to be followed

When desktop or laptop don't have any third party software installed for opening rar files, then download and install win rar software from online or using compression, decompression open source 7 zip.

There are other software that helps in executing rar archives like Zipgenius, Izarc, TugZip. All these are freeware and once installed files with. rar extension can be extracted and opened.

You can even extract multiple rar files simultaneously and the best software available for it is ExtractNow which is extremely user friendly that even a novice can operate it to perfection.

When to Buy Winrar

One is recommended for win rar purchasing only when one cannot open split rar files and when one is in desperate need to create rar files......

You've heard of people zipping files and unzipping files. You have no idea what they're talking about but you're not too worried. You don't think you'll ever need to know about anything that sounds as technical as that.Until you get a zipped file and you don't know how to get at the contents! Now you DO want to learn about zipped files. So, I'll teach you...Zipping a file is basically compressing the contents in order to make it smaller. The reason why you would want to reduce the file size is so that the file can be downloaded FASTER. You will know the file is zipped - because you can SEE a zip on it! Obviously, any file which has been zipped must then be unzipped before you can use the contents.This is how you unzip a file: Click on the file (folder) - I'm assuming you have it on your Desktop. Click on Extract All Files. Save the file to your Desktop. You will now have a zipped folder AND an unzipped folder on your Desktop. If you check the file size of each folder you will notice that the unzipped folder has increased in size - this isn't a problem now that the file has been downloaded. You can delete the unzipped folder - there's nothing in it now because you have just extracted the contents! Now, that wasn't too difficult was it? Now that you understand what a zipped file actually IS unzipping files will become like second nature to you before long - and let's face it - you really cannot run a successful online business without understanding these things. https://evano.com/archive-manager
