Roshal Archive (RAR) is a proprietary archive format that generally compresses better than ZIP. Its distinctive features are strong AES encryption, built-in recovery records that can repair a partially corrupted archive, and multi-volume splitting, which breaks one large archive into numbered parts such as .part1.rar and .part2.rar. Creating RAR files requires licensed software, but the extraction algorithm is openly documented, so many tools can unpack them.
Neither Windows nor macOS opens RAR out of the box, so you will need a tool. WinRAR is the official program from the format’s creator and offers a long trial period.
Other tools extract RAR perfectly well: 7-Zip and PeaZip on Windows, The Unarchiver on macOS, and the unrar package on Linux. When an archive is split into several parts, place every part in the same folder and open the first one — the tool will pull in the rest automatically.
