What is a .R21 file?
The file extension .R21 indicates that the file is the 21st part of a multi-volume compressed RAR archive. This type of file is created when a large .RAR file is split into smaller, more manageable parts for easier distribution or storage. Each part, including the .R21 file, contains a segment of the original compressed data. To use the data stored in a .R21 file, you must have all the other parts of the archive as well. Once all parts are collected, they can be combined to reconstruct the original file.
To open a .R21 file, you need a program that can handle split RAR archives. Some of the programs that can open .R21 files include: - **Unrar**: This is a software tool specifically designed to extract files from RAR archives, including those that are split into multiple parts. - **RARLAB WinRAR**: A very popular software for managing RAR files, WinRAR can create, open, and extract split RAR archives. - **Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe**: This program is available for both Windows and Mac, and it supports a variety of compressed file formats, including split RAR files. - **Corel WinZip**: Known primarily for handling ZIP files, WinZip also supports RAR files, including those split into multiple parts. - **Whirling Dervishes Alpha ZIP**: Another utility that can manage various archive formats including split RAR archives. - **7-Zip**: A free and open-source file archiver that supports many compressed file formats, including split RAR files. - **Zipeg**: This is a free utility that can extract files from compressed archives, including multi-part RAR files. - **Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe Mac 16**: The Mac version of StuffIt Deluxe, which also supports opening and extracting split RAR archives. - **Incredible Bee Archiver**: A Mac program that handles various compressed file formats, including split RAR files. - **Zipeg for Mac**: Similar to its Windows counterpart, this version of Zipeg can handle split RAR files on Mac computers.
