The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well. WinRAR automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method. WinRAR supports all popular compression formats (RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip).This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well. By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition. WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. If you want an intuitive GUI client for your compression / decompression needs we suggest you try The Unarchiver or Keka. Ågren also worked to reverse engineer the StuffIt and StuffIt X formats, and his code was one of the most complete open source implementations of these proprietary formats.Note: WinRAR for macOS is a command-line only application. This is credited in its source code to the use of libxad, an Amiga file format library. Ī main feature of the Unarchiver is its ability to handle many old or obscure formats like StuffIt as well as AmigaOS disk images and LZH / LZX archives, and so on. The corresponding command line utilities unar and lsar is free software licensed under the LGPL run on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS. The latest version requires Mac OS X Lion or higher. It can also handle filenames in various character encodings, created using operating system versions that use those character encodings. The Unarchiver is a proprietary freeware data decompression utility, which supports more formats than Archive Utility (formerly known as BOMArchiveHelper), the built-in archive unpacker program in macOS.
