Editor's Choice: WinRAR 6.11

Due to its relative ease of use, and incredibly quick processes, WinRAR is one of the leading compression software programs on the market.

WinRAR, which first hit the market in 1995, was created in response to the growing size of files and media folders. Transferring the files soon became difficult, which then created the need for compact folders. As a result, file compression was created, which gave PC users the chance to shrink down documents with WinRAR to only a fraction of their original size.

After almost 25 years, WinRAR is still running strong, as one of the leading compression programs available. The two and a half decades have given the developers plenty of time to work out the kinks, and create a compression software that is nearly flawless.

Consequently, WinRAR is wickedly fast to compress and extract zip documents. Users simply select which documents need compression, and WinRAR’s automated process handles the rest. There are no complex controls, no hoops to jump through, and no processes which require user interaction.

Compression and extraction software to shrink down or reveal contents of compressed files.

One of the best ways to send documents, photos, and videos is through email. Yet unfortunately, most email providers have a storage limit which prevents users from sending excessively large files to one another. Consequently, users are forced to find alternative ways to send content to one another.

And of the very best ways to do just that is to compress and extract files with specialized software. And one of the frontrunners of that software class is WinRAR, an advanced program that first came to PCs over 20 years ago.

WinRAR, nicknamed after the Russian inventor of the RAR compression format, allows users to shrink nearly every type of file into a compressed file which becomes easily transferrable. Once shrunk, the file can be packed into various other folders, and stowed away on a device, or sent to another user. Conversely, those using the software can also utilize it to unpack the compressed files that they receive from other users.

When using WinRAR, users can also encrypt files to make them more secure for transport. Secure encryption encodes the files, which are then accessible only by those with access to the key.
