How to Open a RAR File

         Opening a RAR file is pretty simple — you just need the right tool. RAR is a compressed archive format (like ZIP), so you’ll use an extraction app to open it.
🗂️ Easiest ways to open a RAR file on Windows
1. Use WinRAR (most common)
• Download and install WinRAR (it’s free to use with a trial).
• Right‑click your file.
• Choose Extract Here or Extract to <folder>.
2. Use 7‑Zip (free and open‑source)
• Install 7‑Zip.
• Right‑click the file.
• Select 7‑Zip → Extract Here or Extract to….
3. Use Windows built‑in support (Windows 11 update)
Some versions of Windows 11 now support opening RAR files natively:
• Double‑click the file.
• Click Extract in the top menu.
If your system doesn’t support it yet, one of the apps above will work perfectly.
