What is a rar file?
A rar file is a collection of files & folders wrapped into a single package and compressed using the Roshal Archive algorithm. It was first released by Russian software engineer Eugene Roshal in 1993. It purports to have better compression speed, encryption and error handling than the ZIP format.
It is a common file format used primarily to bundle multiple files for easier distribution or backup.
