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.

TGZ is a TAR archive that has been compressed with gzip, combining two steps into one file. TAR gathers the files and folders together and preserves their permissions and structure, then gzip compresses the resulting bundle. The .tgz extension is simply a shorter spelling of .tar.gz, kept from the days of three-character extensions, and the two are completely interchangeable.
How to open a TGZ file?
On Linux and macOS, one command does everything: tar -xzf archive.tgz. Desktop file managers on both systems also unpack TGZ with a double-click.
On Windows, 7-Zip, WinRAR, and PeaZip all handle TGZ, though 7-Zip may need two passes — the first removes the gzip layer, the second opens the TAR. Windows 11 can also extract TGZ directly from File Explorer. You can also convert the file with our TGZ to ZIP tool.
