To add to what has been said: There is absolutely zero reason to use winrar or the *.rar format these days. Use 7zip and zip files. The compression is identical for all intents and purposes, and there is no reason to use a copyrighted data format in this case.

Edit: [Here’s a benchmark comparing the available formats](https://peazip.github.io/peazip-compression-benchmark.html)
