ZIP is probably the best-known archive format and therefore has the widest support. The RAR file format, on the other hand, is proprietary and mainly found among Windows users. However, additional software is required to open RAR files on Windows, Linux and macOS.

ZIP and RAR in comparison

RAR can compress files slightly better, which means that the compressed files are ultimately a little smaller. ZIP, on the other hand, is an open standard that has been maintained for decades and is integrated into almost all operating systems, including Windows since Windows ME and XP. RAR can compress files about 10 to 15% smaller than ZIP. However, the difference is minimal for already compressed formats such as images, videos or audio files. For everyday file exchange, this difference is now negligible, and ZIP's better compatibility usually outweighs this disadvantage.
