How to Unzip & Unrar

ZIP and RAR are two archive formats used for compressing other files in order to make them smaller and more manageable. You'll need to "unzip" ZIP files, or "UnRAR" RAR files before you can access the files inside of them. There are free programs and websites designed to decompress your files for you. These tools are available on various places on the Internet. Generally these tools will be able to decompress a RAR or a ZIP file just as well.
