*WinRAR* is a must-have in any modern-day PC toolkit. This 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 WinRAR isn't as quick as rival WinZip at compressing files.
However, for the small time difference, WinRAR leaves you with *a
significantly smaller archived file* at the end of the process. What's
more, the application allows you to save files into *both .ZIP and .RAR
formats*, with bunches of options for speeding up compression times and
reducing file sizes. Although many newcomers might be put off by the sheer
range of features and settings within WinRAR, the interface doesn't take
long to get accustomed to, and if you're still really stuck there's 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.*Download *WinRAR
