RAR Archive Format RAR Converter
RAR is a format for archive files, which can be used as an alternative to ZIP folders. The full name of the format is WinRAR Compressed Archive. It was created by Eugene Roshal in the mid-1990s as a method for simultaneously archiving and encrypting files.
RAR files offer greater security, and typically take up less file space than ZIP folders because of a higher compression ratio. Because of these features, RAR has been used in the past for creators to store and share raw photo or video files, although many photographers and videographers now use cloud-based galleries or file-sharing tools. Not very many programs can open RAR files, but they can be opened with WinRAR and Corel WinZip. You can create RAR archive files with the paid WinRAR program, as well as using online tools like Zamzar.

7Z Archive Format 7Z Converter
The 7Z file format, or 7-Zip compressed file, is an archive file format developed by Igor Pavlov in the late 1990s, and is used for data compression, encryption and pre-processing. 7Z is an open source format based on Pavlov’s own LZMA compression algorithm, which offers a high compression ratio - making it ideal for archiving large amounts of data (supporting files up to 16,000 Petabytes) in a comparatively small file size. 7Z files also have the ability to include strong encryption, full Unicode support, and a high degree of pre-processing.
The 7Z format is particularly popular for storing data, such as documents, images, music and videos, in a single compressed file, but can also be used to compress multiple files into a single package, e.g. for distributing software applications. You can open 7Z files with various applications, including 7-Zip, Corel WinZip and RARLAB WinRAR.
