WinRAR is a 32-bIT RAR Archiver, an archiver and archive manager for Windows operating system. This software has many advantages, RAR files can typically compress content by 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files can. WinRAR’s most important features include strong general and multimedia compression, the ability to process non-RAR archive formats, ZIP compression and decompression, support for long filenames, programmable self-extracting archives (SFX), repair of damaged archives, authenticity verification, embedded file comments, and encryption.

The WinRAR format supports multi-volume compression, this allows the splitting of a large file. WinRAR’s recovery record feature enables corrupt files to be accessed to facilitate salvaging damaged data.

It supports Unicode in archive filenames, allowing non-English filenames to be handled easily. RAR also allows manipulation of the parameters of many archives at once and view a volume sequence as a single archive. WinRAR can convert other archive formats to RAR and search for specified text and files in archives.

The latest version of WinRAR adds improved Unicode support in the folder tree panel, and fixes a bug with incorrect font in the volume size list in Japanese Windows 98.
