How do I open a RAR FILE?

Joe Giannetti · 10-06-2008, 07:24 PM

What is the best FREE program to open a RAR file?

RyanLeisure · 10-06-2008, 07:25 PM

You can get WinRar for free, I think it has a paid version too, but my free version has never expired or anything.

I use zip genius. Its free and opens almost anything.

Mike Bogowski · 10-06-2008, 07:26 PM

You can try WinRAR ...

There is a full trial version available.

Hope this helps

You don't need anything to unzip a rar file if you have vista. Just right click > unzip.

If you don't have vista, you can download zip genius.

ZipGenius.it - Free zip utility for Windows that handles zip, rar, cab, 7-zip archives and CD-ROM ISO9660 image files

or a free trial of winzip or winrar.

I use
Filzip home. Try a great, free zip program.

It's free.

The original...win rar.

GeorgettaSterling · 10-07-2008, 04:41 PM

I recommend 7-zip. It is free, open source, stable, small, fast and opens most archive formats, including RAR files. It will also reassemble most multi-part RARs.

You can get the latest version at:
7-Zip

I haven't had much joy with the free versions of WinRAR (they are not free, just trials). I eventually purchased it, and it works great with RAR, but I find it slow.

Best Regards, Georgetta

As some others have said, winrar original for me. Didn't realize there were so many alternatives, guess I never looked.

Are you serious? I had a rar file a while back (I think it came as a WSO) and I downloaded someone's "free trial" so that I could open it. I didn't know Vista could do this. Thankfully, I don't get too many rar files.

Hey Joe,

7Zip has already been mentioned, but there is
a new (FREE) piece of software that is built on
the 7Zip platform, but vastly improved.

It is called JZip. It is open source, same as 7Zip.

I like it much better.

I have Vista and don't need to install any additional programs to open this type of file.

yaz8888 · 10-07-2008, 10:52 PM

Winrar is the program I use

donlester · 10-07-2008, 11:08 PM

most compression programs can handle multi compression types. rar and zip are two of the more popular ones. I use IZArc. you can find it at IZArc - The Ultimate Archive Utility - ZIP, RAR, 7-ZIP, UNZIP, UNRAR, ENCRYPTION. it is free and seems to handle most compressions well.

PS - I have no affiliation with IZArc I just think it works well.

7 zip is the best I ever used
