UnRAR is the name of two different command-line applications for extracting RAR file archives.

RARLAB UnRAR

This source-available freeware[1] is a Windows command-line version of UnRAR, created by RARlab, the same company that created the commercial WinRAR software.[2] This software can extract newer RAR v5.0 file archives that are not supported by competitors.

The source-available license stipulates that users may not use the unrar code to create an rar compressor.

GNU UnRAR

This free software is a Linux version of UnRAR that is based on an old version of RARLAB's UnRAR with permission from author Eugene Roshal.[3] It is licensed under the GPL. Work ended in 2007. It does not support the RAR3 format.[3]
