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.

ZIP is the most widely used archive format in the world. It bundles any number of files and folders into a single container and compresses them, usually with the DEFLATE algorithm. Compression is lossless, so everything extracts exactly as it went in. Each file inside is compressed separately, which means a damaged archive can often still yield its undamaged members, and individual files can be read without unpacking the whole thing.
How to open a Zip file?
No extra software is needed on any modern system. On Windows, right-click the file and choose Extract All; on macOS, double-click it and Archive Utility unpacks it automatically.
For password-protected or very large archives, dedicated tools work better: 7-Zip on Windows, WinRAR and WinZip as long-standing alternatives, and The Unarchiver on macOS. On Linux, the unzip command handles it in one step.
