What is ezyZip?
ezyZip is a free online rar to zip converter that runs in your browser. No need to install any additional converter software. It supports a myriad of other file conversion options too.
Unlike other online archive conversion utilities, ezyZip DOES NOT enforce file size restrictions or require uploading files to a server. It runs locally as a browser app, thus making it much quicker than other online conversion tools. This means you'll be able to convert large compressed files! This also ensures your privacy will be protected as no file data will leave your browser.
What is a rar file?
A RAR (Roshal Archive File) file is a collection of files & folders wrapped into a single package and compressed using the Roshal Archive algorithm. It was first released by Russian software engineer Eugene Roshal in 1993. It purports to have better compression speed, encryption and error handling than the ZIP file format, resulting in smaller RAR file size. This proprietary file format is overseen by RARlab, the creators of WinRAR.
It is a common archive file format used primarily to bundle multiple files for easier distribution or backup utilising lossless file compression techniques.
