What is a RAR file (a file with file extension RAR)?
Files that contain the .rar file extension are archive files that have been created by the WinRAR file archiving software. The WinRAR application takes large files or collections of files and compresses those files into a single archive folder. This makes it easier for users to share files via email and over the Internet. For example, if you needed to email multiple file attachments to an individual, you could use WinRAR to archive the files, sending one attachment rather than many.
When the WinRAR archiver creates an archive, the resulting archive file is given the .rar file extension. RAR files are very similar to ZIP files but the WinRAR application allows a user to split an archive into multiple volumes and provides advanced archive features.
