Stealing the crown from WinZip, the previously undisputed king of file
compression apps, WinRAR is a must-have in any modern-day PC toolkit.
The application not only includes support for extracting virtually any
kind of file compression format, it also boasts a no-nonsense approach
to reducing file sizes.
Some will argue that the application is not as quick as WinZip at compressing files. However, for the small lag in time difference, you end up with a significantly smaller archived file at the end of the process with WinRAR. What�s more, the application allows you to save files into both ZIP and RAR formats, with a multitude of options for speeding up compression times, or reducing file sizes at the expense of a few more seconds.
Although many newcomers might be put off by the sheer range of features
and settings within the program, the interface doesn�t take long to
get accustomed to, and if you are still really stuck there is a
simple wizard-based system that walks you through the process of
extracting or compressing. All this adds up to make WinRAR a dependable
utility that performs better than any other tool in its class.
Boasting
more compression options, higher compression rates and smaller file
sizes than WinZip, WinRAR is now the undisputed market leader in file
compression.
