> Compress files and extract archives with the Windows archiver

WinRAR compresses, extracts, and manages file archives on Windows. It opens formats including RAR, ZIP, 7z, and TAR. When creating an archive, users can package a group of files together or divide the result into separate volumes for storage and transfer. Password-based encryption is available. A set of documents can be prepared as one package, then extracted when needed. Options control how it is compressed and divided before sharing. WinRAR is distributed as trial software with a paid license, while related RAR tools provide archiving functions on other platforms.
