How to Open and Extract RAR Files

RAR files are compressed files that take up less storage space and can be transferred to other computers more quickly than uncompressed files. To open and extract RAR files, you need to use a file archiver or compression utility like WinRAR.

Steps:

  1. Download and install a file archiver/compression utility. There are a number of file archivers and compression utilities available on the internet. WinRAR is a popular and reliable option with support for a variety of file formats.
  2. Open the file archiver program. Look for the program icon on your desktop or in the start menu list. If it is installed correctly, it will open when you double-click the icon.
  3. Navigate to the RAR file. Use the file browser window in the file archiver to locate the RAR file on your hard drive or other storage device.
  4. Select the RAR file. Once you have located the desired file, click on it once to select it.
  5. Extract the contents of the RAR file. This can be done a number of ways. The most common way is to click "Extract" from the menu bar, or right-click the file and select "Extract". Another way is to open the RAR file and select the files you want to extract. This will result in the RAR file being decompressed and the contents extract to the folder or directory of your choice.
  6. Close the file archiver. Once the extraction has finished, click the "close" button or select "exit" from the menu bar to close the file archiver and save any changes you made.

Now that you know how to open and extract an RAR file, you can easily share larger files and save space on your computer.
