How to open rar.file from mail
A common issue!
If you've received a .rar
file via email and you're not sure how to open it, here are a few steps to help you:
Method 1: Using a built-in extractor (Windows)
- Right-click on the
.rar
file in your email or download folder. - Select "Extract All" (or "Extract files" in older Windows versions).
- Follow the prompts to extract the files to a folder on your computer.
Method 2: Using a third-party extractor (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Download and install a free RAR extractor software, such as:
- WinRAR (Windows)
- 7-Zip (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Unrar (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Once installed, right-click on the
.rar
file and select "Extract Here" or "Extract to" to extract the files to a folder on your computer.
Method 3: Using an online extractor (Web-based)
- Go to a web-based RAR extractor service, such as:
- Online-Convert.com
- Convertio.co
- SmallPDF.com
- Upload the
.rar
file to the website. - Select the extraction options (e.g., password, compression level).
- Click "Extract" to download the extracted files.
Additional tips:
- If the
.rar
file is password-protected, you'll need to enter the correct password to extract the files. - Make sure you have enough disk space to extract the files, as the extracted files may be larger than the original
.rar
file. - Be cautious when downloading and extracting files from unknown sources, as they may contain malware or viruses.
I hope this helps you open your .rar
file from email!
