'''WinRAR''' is a [[trialware]] [[file archiver]] utility, developed by [[Eugene Roshal]] of win.rar GmbH. It can create and view archives in [[RAR (file format)|RAR]] or [[Zip (file format)|ZIP]] file formats,<ref>Manuel Masiero (18 March 2013)[https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/winrar-winzip-7-zip-magicrar,3436.html "Compression Performance: 7-Zip, MagicRAR, WinRAR, WinZip"] ''Tom's Hardware''. Retrieved 27 November 2013.</ref> and unpack numerous archive [[computer file|file]] formats. To enable the user to test the integrity of archives, WinRAR embeds [[CRC32]] or [[BLAKE2]] [[checksum]]s for each file in each archive. WinRAR supports creating [[Encryption|encrypted]], multi-part and [[self-extracting archive]]s.  WinRAR is a Windows-only program. An [[Android (operating system)|Android]] application called "RAR for Android" is also available.<ref name=android>{{Cite web |url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar |title=RAR for Android; RARsoft. |access-date=2014-11-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141222101935/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar |archive-date=2014-12-22 |url-status=live }}</ref> Related programs include the command-line utilities "RAR" and "UNRAR"<ref name="Interview by correspondence">{{cite web |url=http://www.compression.ru/arctest/descript/roshal.htm |first=Kirill |last=Voloshin |trans-title=Interview by correspondence |script-title=ru:Интервью по переписке |date=2011-03-10 |access-date=2014-10-27 |language=ru |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150816011005/http://www.compression.ru/arctest/descript/roshal.htm |archive-date=2015-08-16 |url-status=live }}</ref> and versions for [[macOS]],<ref name="dl" /> [[Linux]], [[FreeBSD]], WinCE, and [[MS-DOS]].
