Convert ZIP, 7Z, TAR to RAR – Make a RAR Archive

So You Need a RAR File?

I get it. Sometimes you're uploading something to a forum, or sending to a friend, and they specifically ask for a .rar file. Maybe you're used to WinRAR and you like the compression ratio. But you have a ZIP file, or you downloaded a 7Z from somewhere. You don't have to install WinRAR just to create one RAR file. Just use this. Upload your ZIP, 7Z, or even an old RAR that needs updating, and we'll turn it into a fresh RAR. No software, no paying for a license you'll use once.

What's the Difference Between RAR and RAR5?

RAR5 came out a while back. It compresses better, especially for large files and lots of small files. But the catch? Really old archiving tools (like WinRAR older than version 5) can't open it. If you're sending to someone who might be on an old PC, stick with regular RAR. If it's for yourself and you want smaller files, pick RAR5. Both work fine.

Can I Convert a 7Z File to RAR Without Losing Data?

Yeah, 7Z and RAR are both lossless. We're just repackaging. The files inside – your photos, your documents, your videos – stay exactly the same. The only difference is the container. Some people say RAR handles corrupted files better, others like 7Z for maximum compression. Either way, the conversion is clean.
