If encrypted ZIP archive extraction fails, you can try to disable this option, repeat extraction and enter a valid password manually. There is a minor chance of incorrect password detection for ZIP archives if stored passwords do not include a proper one.

This option is applicable only for archives in RAR 5.0 and ZIP formats, which allow to verify the password validity quickly.

If you have purchased several licenses, you can even mix versions to meet your own personal needs.

WinRAR supports all popular compression formats (RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip).This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well. By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition.

WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. If you want an intuitive GUI client for your compression / decompression needs we suggest you try The Unarchiver or Keka. Note: WinRAR for macOS is a command-line only application.
