WinRAR 64-bit for Windows

WinRAR combines a graphical file manager with command-line tools for packing, browsing, testing, and extracting archives. It creates RAR and ZIP files and opens formats including CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, XZ, and Z. Explorer context-menu commands make everyday extraction quick, while the main window exposes profiles, solid compression, volume splitting, and archive testing.

The x64 package is now the relevant Windows build: WinRAR 7.10 and later require Windows 7 x64 or newer, and 32-bit Windows is no longer supported. Version 7.23 is the latest stable release verified on 16 September 2026. RARLAB also lists WinRAR 7.30 beta 1, but beta software is intentionally not represented as the stable download here.

WinRAR is commercial trial software rather than freeware. The official product information specifies a 40-day evaluation, after which the user must purchase a license or uninstall it. Its distinctive tools include RAR creation, AES-256 archive encryption, recovery records, multivolume sets, self-extracting archives, and a Wizard mode. Encryption protects an archive only when a strong password is chosen and handled safely; it does not make untrusted extracted files safe to run.
