In addition to its core functions, it also hides many practical functions, which greatly expands the scope of file management. Want to know how to use these features? This article will be revealed to you one by one by php editor Apple, and will help you unlock more potential of WinRAR!

Function 1: File Compression

File compression is the basic function of WinRAR, which can reduce storage space and transmission time by compressing files.

1. Select the target file or folder to be compressed, right-click and select [Add to compressed file...].

2. In the pop-up [Compressed File Name and Parameters] window, you can select the compression format (such as RAR or ZIP), set the compression level, and specify the name and storage path of the compressed file.

After the settings are completed, click the [OK] button, WinRAR will start compressing the file, and generate a compressed package after completion.

Feature 2: Encrypted Compression

By setting a password for the compressed file, you can protect the file content from being accessed by unauthorized persons.

1. After setting various options during the compression process, in the [Compressed File Name and Parameters] window, click the [Set Password...] button.

After the dialog box pops up, enter the password you want to set in the blank box. After clicking [OK], the "open password" for the compressed file will be set.

2. As long as you open the compressed file later, a dialog box will pop up, prompting you to enter a password to open the file.

It should be noted that you must remember the password after setting the compressed package, because if you forget the password, it cannot be released or retrieved through WinRAR.

In this case, we need to use other tools to solve it, such as PepsiNiu RAR Password Recovery Tool or PepsiNiu ZIP Password Recovery Tool, which can help us retrieve the password of the compressed package.

Function 3: Repair compressed files

When the compressed file is damaged, you can use the repair function provided by WinRAR to restore the integrity of the file.

1. Open the damaged compressed file in WinRAR, click the [Tools] menu on the toolbar, and select the [Repair Compressed File] option.

2. When the dialog box pops up, select the saved path after repair and the format type to be saved after repair, and then click [OK].

Subsequently, WinRAR will automatically start the repair process, and upon completion, a repaired compressed file will be generated.

Function 4: Create self-extracting files

You can create self-extracting files through WinRAR, so that other users can open the compressed package even if they have not installed decompression software.

1. Select the target file or folder to be compressed, right-click and select [Add to compressed file...].

When the [Compressed file name and parameters] dialog box pops up, check the [Create self-extracting format compressed file] option.

2. In the [Advanced] tab, click [Self-extracting Options] and the [Advanced Self-Extracting Options] dialog box will pop up, where you can set parameters such as the self-extracting path and running program.

Finally, click the [OK] button of [Compressed file name and parameters] to complete the settings. WinRAR will generate a self-extracting file.

Function 5: Batch processing

Using WinRAR’s batch processing function, you can compress different files or folders into multiple compressed packages at the same time to improve work efficiency.

1. Select multiple files or folders, right-click and select [Add to compressed file...].

2. In the [Compressed File Name and Parameters] window, you can set the same compression parameters for all selected files.

3. In the [File] tab, check [Put each file into a separate compressed file], and then click [OK]. WinRAR will start compressing the selected files or folders in batches.

4. The files will be compressed separately into different compressed packages.
