WinRAR (64bit)5.21

WinRAR is a widely used file compression and archive management software. With its user-friendly interface and powerful features, WinRAR has become a popular choice for compressing, decompressing, and managing files.

One of the key advantages of WinRAR is its ability to compress files into smaller sizes, making it easier to store and transfer large amounts of data. It supports various compression formats, including RAR, ZIP, and others, allowing users to work with different types of archives effortlessly.

In addition to compression, WinRAR also offers features for creating self-extracting archives, which allow users to share files with others who may not have WinRAR installed. This feature is particularly useful when sharing files across different operating systems.

WinRAR provides a range of options for encrypting archives, ensuring the security and privacy of sensitive data. Password protection and encryption algorithms add an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized access.

Furthermore, WinRAR integrates seamlessly with the Windows operating system, allowing users to right-click on files or folders to perform compression or extraction tasks quickly. Its drag-and-drop functionality simplifies the process of managing files and archives.

WinRAR's multi-volume archive support enables users to split large files into smaller parts, making it easier to store or transfer them. This feature is especially beneficial when dealing with files that exceed storage limits or need to be sent via email or other file-sharing platforms.

WinRAR is a reliable and versatile file compression and archive management tool. Its efficient compression algorithms, encryption capabilities, and user-friendly interface make it an excellent choice for both personal and professional use. Whether you need to compress files for storage, share files securely, or manage archives effectively, WinRAR is a reliable solution.

What's New

Version 5.21

  • "Drag and drop context menu" options in "Settings/Integration/ Context menu items" dialog allow to disable WinRAR archiving and extraction commands in context menu displayed after dragging and dropping files with right mouse button.
  • If winrar.ini file is present in the same folder as WinRAR installer, winrar.ini will be copied to WinRAR program folder after completing installation.
  • While previous versions could produce RAR5 volumes of slightly smaller than requested size sometimes, such situation is less likely now. In most cases volume size equals to specified by user.
  • Now by default WinRAR skips symbolic links with absolute paths in link target when extracting. You can enable creating such links with "Allow absolute paths in symbolic links" option on "Advanced" page of extraction dialog or with -ola command line switch.
  • Such links pointing to folders outside of extraction destination folder can present a security risk. Enable their extraction only if you are sure that archive contents is safe, such as your own backup.

Bugs fixed:

  • WinRAR 5.20 issued unnecessary user account control (UAC) prompt, when running an executable from archive stored in UAC protected folder. Since nothing is extracted to folder containing an archive in such case, UAC prompt is not needed;
  • WinRAR could overwrite files with read-only attribute only when unpacking RAR and ZIP archive formats. Now it is also implemented for other archive formats supported by WinRAR;
  • "Elapsed time" and "Time left" were displayed incorrectly when applying "Convert" command to multiple archives and enabling "Add recovery record" option.
