It is fast and can zip larger files too. You can also password protect the files. It helps to reduce consumption of storage by compressing files > > **Cons**: There are no such cons for WinRAR it is easily available so no cons by my side. > > It has been a great experience with WinRAR, I use it frequently for my files to be at a same place compressed which I do not use but I need to keep them ----- ### "Gives me flexibility in splitting archives" — 5.0/5 > **Norhartinie** | *9 June 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: WinRAR handles additional archive formats beside RAR and ZIP that I like such as 7z and ISO. It compress large files quickly, without losing the data integrity which is important to me when I send big folders to clients or friends. > > **Cons**: I find that WinRAR is not natively cloud backup integrated. Because of that I have to manually download and upload archives. ----- ### "Extraction and Extracting made simple" — 5.0/5 > **Travis** | *17 June 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It can zip/extract just about any file type out there. It's a quick, lightweight installation and is super simple to use. > > **Cons**: I wish it was a totally free product. It does what many other free products do so it's hard to justify the cost sometimes. > > The product is quick and easy to use. It really is a well designed product with an easy GUI to navigate. It is compatible with just about every type of ZIP file out there. ----- ### "Extensive format support and good encryption features" — 5.0/5 > **Maria** | *5 June 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: WinRAR made it very handy to pack the files into an encrypted archive in case of sensitive data. That said, password protection built in is such a relief, I don’t have to use extra tools to send confidential documents safely. > > **Cons**: ZIP recovery isn’t as reliable, causing problems when dealing with damaged files from external sources. ----- ### "Reliable compression with every batch job" — 5.0/5 > **Jaya** | *16 June 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the way that WinRAR deals with batch archiving, where one may choose dozens of files and make a single compressed file in a few seconds. Automatic split-volume enables me to attach large files without any difficulties. > > **Cons**: It cause me with overwriting files without evident warnings during extraction, and I replace files accidentally when I have to do it quickly. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/207190/winrar?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/207190/winrar) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
