RAR Viewer - Open RAR Archives on Android & Online

RAR is a compressed archive format created by Eugene Roshal and made popular by the WinRAR utility. It offers strong compression and support for splitting large data sets across multi-volume archives, which is why downloads, backups and shared collections still arrive as RAR files.

Android has no built-in support for RAR archives. If you build an app that receives them, GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud supplies a REST endpoint that reads the archive remotely and shows what it holds, delivered as HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG. Password-protected archives are accepted, and no extraction code has to be built into your app.

The Java SDK keeps integration short: install it with Gradle or Maven, sign in, and request the pages you want. Navigation, zoom and thumbnails behave the same here as on any of the 180-plus formats the service handles, and evaluation is straightforward, since the API Explorer runs calls from a browser and the trial costs nothing.

For a one-off archive, the free online GroupDocs.Viewer app displays RAR contents directly in the browser, with nothing to install on the phone or desktop.
