The difference is with their primary compression type. RAR has a lot of options and from my experience generally gives better compression.ZIP is more of a standard, however, ZIP compression and decompression comes standard with many operating systems (like Windows) these days.With WinRAR, you get both. The second biggest difference, is that updates to WinRAR are free."

∙ 12y agoBoth zip and rar are means of compressing the size of a file so that it can be downloaded faster or take up less space when archived on a backup disc. There is not much difference between zip and rar file compression. It is said that the rar compression process is a little slower but manages slightly greater compression than zip.
ZIP format uses a proprietary encryption algorithm.RAR archives are encrypted by the much stronger AES-128
standard. If you need to encrypt important information,
it is better to select the RAR archive format.
