- Description
- An archive file format compressed with lzop, based on the LZO (Lempel-Ziv-Oberhume) compression codec. It is similar to .Gzip but allows a higher compression ratio and faster decompression.
- 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.
