RAR is the native format of the WinRAR archiver. Like other archives, RAR files are data containers. They store one or several files in the compressed form.
After you download a RAR file from the Internet, you need to unpack its contents in order to use them.
Compared to the ZIP file format, RAR provides a number of advanced features: more convenient multipart (multivolume) archives, tight compression including special solid, multimedia and text modes, strong AES-128 encryption, recovery records helping to repair an archive even in the case of physical data damage, Unicode support to process non-English file names and a lot more.
