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.
How to open a RAR file?
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.

Gzip (GZ) is a compression format built on the DEFLATE algorithm and created as a free replacement for the patent-encumbered compress utility. A key point often missed is that gzip compresses a single file — it is not an archive format and cannot hold a folder on its own. That is why it is normally combined with TAR to produce .tar.gz. Gzip is also what web servers use to compress pages before sending them to your browser.
How to open a GZ file?
On Linux and macOS, run gunzip file.gz in a terminal, or double-click the file in your desktop environment to decompress it in place.
On Windows, use 7-Zip, WinRAR, or PeaZip — all of them recognise GZ. If the file is really a .tar.gz, you may have to extract it twice: once to unwrap the gzip layer and once more to unpack the TAR inside. You can also convert the file with our GZ to ZIP tool.
