ZIP files have wider compatibility and are easier to use than RAR files making them the preferred choice among users. Users can open ZIP files on almost every operating system without installing third-party applications. Due to the ease of ZIP files, some users like to transfer files in this format. ZIP files typically extract faster even though RAR files may compress at slightly better rates. If you value processing time and universal access, ZIP is the choice for you. If you need to convert or switch between RAR, 7Z and TAR formats in addition to ZIP files this is generally more manageable with an archive conversion tool than any other method. I suggest Softaken Archive Converter Software since users can convert various archive files into other formats without losing data.
