Does anyone know of any file that can extract RAR files like WinRAR?

Question

I downloaded WinRAR but the trial ran out so Im gonna look for a free program so any safe suggestions? I tired 7zip but I couldn't figure out how to get the files in the program.

Answer 1

7-Zip will work. Right-click on the file and choose 'extract'. Good luck!



7-Zip is an open source file archiver with high compression ratio. Support open-source software. WinZip and WinRAR are not fee.

Answer 2

I would suggest you use 7-zip.



Additional details:



Single File Compression, Multiple Files, File size difference and compression time between WinRar, Winzip and 7-Zip. This might help you decide.



Single File Compression

File Size Difference: WinRar > Winzip > 7-Zip

Compression Time: Winzip > 7-Zip > WinRar



Multiple Files Compression

File Size Difference: 7-Zip > WinRar > Winzip

Compression Time: Winzip > 7-Zip > WinRar

Redownload WinRAR the trial is actually the full version and it will allow you to keep extracting it will always popup with the trial box at the beginning. If you can live with yourself for not paying keep using it.
