Steps to change ZIP compressed files to RAR format

php editor Xiaoxin will introduce you in detail the steps to change ZIP compressed files to RAR format. RAR format has higher compression rate and better compression quality in compressing files. Converting to RAR format can save disk space and speed up file transfer. The following will introduce you how to convert ZIP files to RAR files:

If there are only a small number of compressed files that need to be changed in format, you can first decompress the ZIP file and then compress it into RAR format; but if there are many files, processing them one by one will take a lot of time. In this case, other methods may be considered.

Specific steps:

1. After opening the WinRAR decompression software, click [Tools]-[Convert Compressed File Format] in the menu bar.

2. After the [Convert Compressed File] dialog box pops up, let’s perform the following operations:

(1) Click the [Add] option to import one or more ZIP compressed packages that need to be converted into formats, which means that all compressed packages can be imported at once;

(2) Check the file format that needs to be converted in [Compressed File Type]. For example, if we want to convert ZIP to other formats, we need to check the "ZIP (2)" option;

(3) Click the [Browse] option to set the saving address of the compressed package after the format is converted;

(4) Click the [Compression] option to proceed to the next step.

3. After clicking the [Compression] option, the [Default Configuration] page will appear. Select the "RAR" format in [Compressed File Format], and then click [OK] below.

4. After completing the above settings, return to the [Convert Compressed File Interface] and click [OK] to start converting the format.

5. After the conversion is completed, you can find the converted RAR compressed file in the set folder.

It should be reminded that if the converted ZIP compressed file is password-protected, whether one or all files are password-protected, you need to enter the password before conversion can be performed.

After clicking [OK] in the last step, the [Enter Password] interface will pop up. You need to enter the originally set password in the blank column and click [OK] to proceed with the conversion. If a password is set for one file, one interface will pop up, for two files, two interfaces will pop up, and so on.

Some friends may ask, what can I do if I forget my password? Unfortunately, you can neither open protected archives nor convert file formats without a password, because WinRAR does not have a forget password option.

So, we can only try our best to recall the password. If we really can’t remember it, then try to use other tools to solve it. For example, Pepsi Niu ZIP password recovery tool can help us retrieve the password of ZIP compressed files.

The tool provides 4 retrieval methods. After importing the ZIP file, select the appropriate method and follow the prompts.
