WinRAR (a.k.a. RAR) is a shareware file archiver and data compression utility developed by Eugene Roshal. It
is one of the few applications that is able to create RAR archives natively, as the encoding method is held to be proprietary. More Info…
It enables you to compress files and make it an archive. But take note that file compression depends on the user settings. Maybe it can compress your files into one file but still the size of the files archives cannot be taken place if your settings is in correct.
Below is a list of procedure to compress files to archive. Ok let’s start.
1. For example, a have a file and I name it ‘designs’ and I place it in my desktop.
2. Right-click select Add to Archive.
3. Now set your properties:
Archive name: design or replace it with your own filename
