What is WinRAR?
WinRAR is a piece of software used for packing and creating RAR and ZIP archives compressing files in the process to make them smaller and easier to store and send as well as unpacking numerous other archive file formats. It also helps you to put a password on these files making them difficult to read for unauthorized eyes.
What archive files are?
So to further explain what WinRAR is we are going to take a look at what archive files are. An archive file is a file that is composed of one or more computer files along with metadata. Archive files are used to collect multiple data files together into a single file for easier portability and storage or simply to compress files to use less storage space.
These files have a variety of uses but most likely you encountered them while downloading files off the internet. Simply put WinRAR is helping you to open use and create those files.
