Now, it is time to unpack the archives and measure the time it takes for Windows 11's File Explorer, WinRAR, and NanaZIP to complete the job.Įach app went through three tests to get the average result on my desktop PC with the Ry(I will upgrade to 5600 in a few days), 32GB DDR4-3200, NVIDIA RTX 4060, and Samsung 980 SSD 500GB. I downloaded Microsoft's massive 24GB free Windows 11 virtual machine and packed its files into three previously unsupported formats: RAR, 7Z (50% compression rate), and TAR. To answer the question, I decided to test the updated File Explorer versus WinRAR, arguably the most popular app of its kind ( which is honored by the change), and NanaZIP, a great fork of 7Zip for Windows 11. Still, the change raises a question: Can the updated File Explorer replace WinRAR, 7Zip, NanaZIP, and other dedicated apps for those frequently working with archives? Even though there is no shortage of free and premium file compression apps, native support is always better for the average consumer-you do not need to look for a program to extract a single randomly downloaded archive. Therefore, users had to opt for third-party apps to work with RAR, 7Z, etc. Although there are concerns about performance and bugs, in this article, I want to focus on the positive side and look closely at one of the best new features the redesigned File Explorer will introduce: native RAR, TAR, 7Z, and other file compression format support.īefore Windows 11 version 23H2, ZIP was the only natively supported archive format. Version 23H2 is expected to introduce many quality-of-life improvements and new capabilities, including a File Explorer redesign. Windows 10 has its own zip extractor, but it's not optimized and incredibly slow, using it will just wasting time, especially if you are dealing with big files, it such inefficient using the default windows zip extractor, using WinRAR or WinZip will help you so much.Microsoft plans to release a big feature update for Windows 11 later this year. So better to choose one of them, both tools are great, choosing one of them will not have any significant for you to manage your compressed files. It such a waste of computer resource and performance to use both WinRAR and WinZip installed. It doesn't mean that it's better, I just don't want to have two different program that has the same function, and i don't want to buy something if there's something free and functions pretty well. I use WinRAR most of the time because it's free and have been using it since the beginning of i am using computer and it's been really helpful. Both WinRAR or WinZip will develop the best possible algorithm to do the compression process, they don't have much different in the results. Zip is the most widely used and probably the most effective format for compressed file. How small they can reduce the file size is depends on your files you want to compress and the format of compression you want to choose. WinZip: 21 day free trial, after that must buy the licence WinRAR: Forever free to use, only popup to upgrade will appear WinZip: ZIP, ZIPX, RAR, 7Z, CAB, TAR, GZip, ISO, Z, XZ, LZH, BZ2, VHD, VMDX WinRAR: RAR, ZIP, 7Z, CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZ2, Z, GZ, JAR, LZ, XZ, ZIPX, OO1 zip: 1,494,035 KB with 1 minute 8 seconds zip: 1.494,843 KB and 1 minute 8 seconds I tested today with the latest version of WinRAR and WinZip, to zip and unzip the same files, and this is the results WinZip: The easiest way to zip, unzip, protect and share your files WinRAR: Compress, Encrypt, Package and Backup with only one utility The two programs for doing file compression i know is WinRAR and WinZip, so here's a comparison of the two most popular compression tools. And also the compression file working to reduce the size when it's being warped into ZIP or RAR format, so the size is much smaller than if don't compressed it. We deal with compressed files a lot, from flash disk, downloading from the internet and many other source because with compressed file either ZIP or RAR, we distributed many files into single file. WinZip or WinRAR has already proven both have to be the best tool to dealing with file compression and decompression, both work perfect. For compression and extracting file in Windows, we need good program that is especially fast and not make your file become corrupt or unusable.
