WinRAR is a program for compressing and archiving files.

The program’s primary archive format is RAR. The application also supports other popular formats, including ZIP and 7-Zip.

The application was developed by Alexander Roshal. WinRAR is distributed on a “try before you buy” basis.

The license allows you to use the program for free for 40 days; after that period, you must purchase a license.

WinRAR can create self-extracting archives as well as split them into parts.
