Repair RAR file - it's free
If there is an error unpacking a RAR file, you can usually repair the file yourself. We will show you how to fix the error and repair the files.
Repair RAR file
In this guide we use the free tool WinRaR. You can also use other pack software, but the following functions are arranged differently or not available:
- Repair RAR file: Open WinRAR and find the RAR file in WinRAR Explorer. Then click on the "Repair" button at the top right. Then a small window opens. Click "OK" here and wait a moment. You will then be informed of the success or failure of the repair.
- Correct CRC errors: If the CRC errors unpack, this can be rectified in most cases. To do this, follow the instructions in this practical tip.
- Unpack a defective archive: If you want to save at least a few files from the archive, you can also unpack a defective archive. Read on in this practical tip.
- Download: If none of this works, you only have to download the RAR file again.
