What is .ARC File and How can be Open into the Desktop?
A .ARC file is a compressed archive created with the UNIX utility arc, or the MS-DOS utility PKARC. It contains one or more files or folders that have been compressed to reduce their file size. The files are compressed using a lossless data compression, which means that all of the data from the original file is retained during compression. .ARC files can be opened and extracted with a variety of archiving programs, such as 7-Zip, PeaZip, WinZip, and WinRAR.
To open a .ARC file on your desktop, first download and install an archiving program such as 7-Zip, PeaZip, WinZip, or WinRAR. Once the program is installed, double-click the .ARC file to open it and view its contents. You can then extract the files from the .ARC file to your computer by selecting them and clicking the “Extract” button. You may be asked to specify a location for the extracted files. Once the files have been extracted, you can open them as you would any other file.
