WinRAR is one of the best and most popular archiving tools on planet Earth, with support for almost all known archiving and compression formats that are used today by both home and professional users (RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives). The program also works with multi-volume archives (which span on more than one hard disks/floppy drive/CD/DVD/USB Stick), offers different levels of compression, can create self-extracting archives, and supports password protection as well.

First version of WinRAR was created by the Russian developer Eugene Roshal in 1995 for DOS and 16-bit Windows 3.x operating systems, 2 years after he managed to create RAR compression file format. Modern version of WinRAR app and RAR standard arrived in 2002, with new version of RAR standard (v3, incompatible with older versions of app), with many popular features being added to this popular compression and backup software over the next few years - most notably skin support in 2005, multithreading in 2006, Unicode UTF-8 filename support in 2008, native 64-bit support for Windows 7 in 2009, 30% work speed increase in 2011, removal of ZIP size limitations in 2012 and new RAR file format (version 5) in 2013.

WinRar has easy to use interface and a built-in Wizard which can help all the novice users to easily manage, create and prepare their compressed archives for transport (either as email attachments or multi-volume archives). It is also extremely fast, can work quietly in the background, can be run from the command line, can work with files as big as 8,589 billion gigabytes in size, and offers 128 bit encryption. WinRar 5 has been translated into more than 45 languages!

Note: Free 40-Day Fully Functional Trial Version.

What's new in this version:

- Added extraction support for ZIP and ZIPX archives using BZIP2, LZMA and PPMd compression.
- Added extraction support for 7z split archives (.7z.001, .7z.002, ...).
- Added support for AES-NI CPU instructions allowing to improve RAR encryption and decryption performance.
- Default theme images are scaled up with better quality in high DPI display mode.
- Environment variables, such as %temp%, can be used in "Files to add" field of archiving dialog.
- Switch -ai can be used when creating RAR archive, so predefined values, typical for file and folder, are stored instead of actual attributes. Previously this switch could be used only when extracting.
- More efficient implementation of "Keep broken files" extraction option (-kb switch in command line mode). Now it allows to recover more data from file split between RAR volumes if next volume is missing.
Bugs fixed:
- when processing nested archives, WinRAR could attempt to open inner archive as self-extracting instead of opening an outer archive. It happened if inner archive was stored without compression and outer archive name had non-standard extension;
- Unix RAR could not decompress hard links stored by WinRAR if link source name included path separator characters.
- "Create recovery volumes" command on "Options" page of archive information dialog was inaccessible if "Merge volume contents" option was enabled in WinRAR settings;
- if wrong password was entered for RAR archive with encrypted file names, previous beta applied such wrong password automatically, when opening the same archive again.
- "Update" command ("u" in command line mode) could update even files with same modification time
- under rare conditions x86 version working in multithreaded mode on SSE2 enabled CPU could erroneously issue checksum error message for first file in valid RAR5 archive with BLAKE2sp checksums
