- Description
- A compressed file format that uses LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain Algorithm) compression for higher compression ratio and fast decompression. Mainly used by 7-Zip file archivers.
- A RAR file is an archive that contains one or more files compressed with RAR compression. It uses a higher compression ratio than typical ZIP compression and incorporates a proprietary compression algorithm that is now used by other compressors, including 7-Zip for its .7Z files. RAR files may be extracted using a variety of programs.
