Open a RAR File in Windows RELATED: There are a variety of applications on Windows that can open RAR files. The default choice is WinRAR, made by the developers of the RAR file format, but it’s not a free app. If you want to create RAR files, WinRAR is your best bet.
However, if you just need to extract a RAR file, the app is a better choice. After you’ve from their web site, you’re good to go. You can double-click any RAR file to open it in 7-ZIP and view or extract the files. If you know you want to extract the files, you can do it without even opening 7-Zip.
Right-click any RAR file, point to the “7-Zip” menu, and then select one of the “Extract” options, depending on where you want to extract the files. Note that if you’ve got a multi-part set of.RAR files, you’ll want to extract the first file in the set—7-Zip will handle the other files in the set automatically. There are other Windows apps that support extracting RAR files, but we recommend 7-Zip because it’s open source, free, and reliable.
Open a RAR File in macOS There are not as many choices for opening RAR files on macOSX as on the more popular Windows platform. There are still a few, however. We recommend the free app “,” which has great support for multi-part archive files. After installation, you can launch The Unarchiver to associate file types with the app. After associating file types, you can extract a RAR archive by simply double-clicking the file.
The Unarchiver create a folder with the same name as the archive, and then extracts its contents to the new folder. Note that if you’re working with a multi-part RAR archive, you’ll need to open the first file in the set. The Unarchiver will handle the additional files in the set automatically. If you use prefer to deal with your archives with a different tool, please let us know about it in the comments.
Multithreaded version of RAR compression algorithm improves the compression speed on computers with several CPU, dual core CPU and processors with hyperthreading technology. Multithreading is enabled by default, but you can disable it in 'General' part of 'Settings' dialog. In the command line mode you can control multithreading with -mt switch. WinRAR can display the folder tree panel allowing to navigate in disk and archive folders. Use 'Options/Folder tree' submenu to enable the folder tree. It can be configured separately in file and archive management modes. Folder tree replaces 'Browse for folder' command previously available in 'File' menu and uses its Ctrl+T keyboard shortcut.
Now WinRAR 'Rename' command also works with ZIP archives. Previous versions could rename files only in RAR archives. Added decompression of LZH archives created with '-lh7-' algorithm. New 'Remove duplicate folders from extraction path' option in 'Settings/Compression' dialog. If this option is on and you unpack an archive which root folder has no files and only one 'somename' folder and if destination folder is new or empty and also ends with '/somename', WinRAR will exclude one 'somename' from resulting 'somename/somename' path. New 'Define volume sizes.' Button in 'Settings/Compression'.
This button activates 'Define volume sizes' dialog. Here you can customize the list of predefined volume sizes associated with 'Split to volumes, bytes' field in archiving dialog. Speed of RAR general compression increased for some data types.
Depending on data type and size the gain may achieve 5 - 15%. 8. New 'Rename automatically' option in the extraction dialog and command line -or switch to rename extracted files automatically if file with the same name already exists. You can also enable the auto-renaming mode directly from the overwrite confirmation prompt with 'Rename All' button. Renamed files will get names like 'filename(N).txt', where 'filename.txt' is the original file name and 'N' is a number. 'Set modification time' option in 'Advanced' part of extraction dialog is accessible also for ZIP archives. Previously it could be changed only for RAR archives.

It also modifies behavior of 'cw' command, setting the comment output format to Unicode. 7Z added to list of formats stored without compression when using -ms switch without a parameter. Switch -e+ is now supported by most of command line operations including extracting and deleting files. Previously it was supported by only archiving command.
It is allowed to use environment variables in archive name in archiving dialog, in destination path in extraction dialog, in folder names on 'Compression' and 'Paths' pages in WinRAR settings. For example, you can enter '%temp%' in 'Folder for temporary files' field.
