How to fix WinRAR files?

Recovery Toolbox for RAR can fix damaged WinRAR archives.

It solves many WinRAR errors, including those listed below:

  • The WinRAR archive is either in an unknown format or is damaged.
  • CRC check failure
  • The WinRAR file header is corrupt.
  • Unexpected end of WinRAR file
  • Worm infection: Unable to share RAR files over a network; error message displayed
  • Unable to extract downloaded WinRAR files from the Internet; error message indicating that CRC failed in filename
  • Improper compression of files in RAR archives: When large files are compressed on a system, they're converted to the .rar format in order to save space. During this process, obstructions are encountered and the compression process is interrupted, causing inaccessibility.
  • WinRAR header corrupt error
  • And others

The tool for WinRAR repair helps in most cases when corrupted archives in the .rar format can't be opened. Even if such a file is seriously damaged, it's possible to retrieve nearly all of a document and save the data. This powerful RAR recovery tool can repair a WinRAR archive file in just a few clicks.

Scanned three non-working archives (it took a very long time) and after analysis all of them had a clean information field.

It recovered my video as much as possible. I think the main goal of this software is to recover to the fullest extent and at least allow the disc-reader to read through the whole file. This is not some magic tool and parts that are too damaged will be replaced with grey color(not fully). It took me incredibly long for 1 GB file(about 2 days) where only about 30-40 seconds were damaged(I was really impressed by the speed of going through not damaged parts-even my reader couldnt read that fast; 90% of the time has gone to recovering that seconds). Overall, I'm happy with the results as I didnt care about the damaged parts, my main goal was to download the file which I couldnt do before. It's the only software I've tried so I cant really tell how good this software has done compared to others

Software helped me in case corruption of huge .rar archives. I applied first time and it completely get back the information.
Tech support could be better.

JAMESHENRYHEATH 07-12-2018

Very simple. Very Effective!
I'm very happy with investing in this product even if I only use it as a one off. I was very skeptical that this product would not solve the corruption issues I was facing. Like majic the files are fixed to a very good standard. Extremely pleased with the simplicity and effectiveness. 5 Stars from me.

I downloaded this utility to try to fix a corrupt RAR file. Yes, it was a large RAR file, but this program ran and ran for about 5 days and nights steadily... I finally had a list of good files.
