WinRAR is a lightweight, flexible, and easy-to-use archiving utility
that can unpack most archive formats, as well as compress to both RAR
and ZIP. Free to try for 40 days ($29 for single license), WinRAR is
definitely top dog in the compression category.
WinRAR's
interface is about as simple as it gets. Start creating (or add to) an
archive by dragging and dropping your files into the interface or by
browsing through the Folder Tree side panel (when enabled). From there,
the most common functions are laid out in the form of colorful, mostly
intuitive icons, which can all be customized by downloading themes from
the company's Web site. Add files to, Extract, Test, Delete, or even
Repair archives right from the main interface. Drop-down menus house the
program's more advanced features, including self-extracting archives,
archive locking, benchmarking, and autodeletion of temp files.
In
our performance tests, both creating and unpacking archives was
blazingly fast. Compression ratios varied depending on file type, but in
general seemed on par with or slightly better than other archiving
programs. Overall, WinRAR is a winner because of its speed, simple
interface, flexibility with file formats, and powerful advanced
features.
