WinRAR – a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files

WinRAR is one of the most popular and easy to use archiving programs available today.  With WinRAR you can easily create and extract .rar and .zip files.  The wizard tool makes it easy to create and extract arcives and also set the compression rate for the RAR file that is created.

Archiving a file or collection of files is very useful for a number of reasons.  You can create the arcive at a high compression rate which means that the program will compress the files to the smalles size possible.  This can make emailing and uploading the files much faster.  The disadvantage of high compression is it takes WinRAR long to create and extract the files from the archive.

Another reason you may want to create a rar acrive is to compress a multitue of files into one file.  If your trying to email someone a collection of photos or music it is much easier and faster to send one RAR or ZIP archive then is is to send each file individually.

WinRAR will also allow you to split the RAR archive into multiple files.  For example, if your trying to fit a large video file onto several CD’s you can split the RAR file into multiple files that are each small enough to fit on an individual CD.  Then you can later put these RAR parts together and extract the full video.

Another reason you may want to compress your data into a RAR archive is for security.  When creating an arcive you can set a password for your data so that nobody else can access your archive without the proper code.

WinRAR is very easy to use and extremely useful.  Anyone who needs to share data digitally should look into using this program.  It is free to try or you can purchase your own copy for only $29.
