Can RAR compressed files be converted to ZIP format?

php editor Xigua is here to answer a common question for everyone: Can RAR compressed files be converted to ZIP format? The answer is yes! Although RAR and ZIP are two different compression formats, we can use some tools and software to convert RAR files to ZIP file formats, making it easier for us to use and share files on different occasions. Next, let’s learn about the specific steps!

First, open the RAR archive through WinRAR decompression software, and then click [Convert Compressed File Format] in the [Tools] list of the menu tab.

After the [Convert Compressed File] dialog box pops up, follow the steps below:

1. Check the file format to be converted. For example, if you want to convert RAR to ZIP, make sure to check "RAR" so that you can add RAR format files later;

2. Click the [Add] tab to add the RAR files that need to be converted. You can add files multiple times, which means you can convert them in batches;

3. If you want to customize the saving path of the converted ZIP file, you can click [Browse] to set it;

4. Click [Compress] to proceed to the next step.

After clicking the [Compression] tab, the [Default Configuration] dialog box will pop up. Here you can set the format to be converted, check "ZIP" in [Compressed File Format], and then click [OK].

Return to the [Convert Compressed File] dialog box, click [OK] to start format conversion.

If you want to convert the ZIP compressed file format to RAR format, you can also follow the above steps. You just need to swap the related options of "RAR" and "ZIP".

Another thing to note is that if the RAR compressed file is password protected, after clicking [OK] to convert, a dialog box will pop up prompting you to enter a password. Only by entering the originally set password can the conversion be successful.

What should I do if I forget my password? Unfortunately, if you forget the password for the RAR compressed file, you will not be able to view the contents of the RAR file, decompress the file, or convert the format.

In this case, you can only try to recall the password, or use tools to retrieve the password of the compressed file.
