.r01 File Extension

Developer: RARLAB
File type: WinRAR Split Archive Part 1
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .r01. Files with the file extension .r01 can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .r01 files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .r01 file?

The first part of the files split from one large archive are known as R01 files, which is why they are known as WinRAR Split Archive Part 1 of the compressed files. These files are mainly used to save large archives on multiple disks. Since one large archive may not fit into one disk, they need to be split, wherein the first split file is the R01 file. These split files may be from R00 to R99 depending on the number of file parts split. These files are usually used by WinRAR for Windows or RAR for Mac and UNIX. But there are also other applications that use the R01 files such as the Corel WinZip 16 Pro for Windows. This facility is very useful and powerful especially when it comes to backing up files for the prevention of data loss. Whether users back up document files, image files, emails, etc. this archive is a great tool for that purpose.

how to open a .r01 file?

Launch a .r01 file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .r01 file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .r01 files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .r01 file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a  .r01 file will open the correct application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .r01 files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .r01. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
