QuickPar can open RAR files and Par 2 files. Par2 files are known as Parchive or Parity files. Par2 files are usually uploaded along with the regular data files/RAR files. If you are missing certain RAR files or downloaded a damaged or corrupted RAR file, you can use the Par2 files to reconstruct the damaged archive or missing files. You can use QuickPar to check whether you have the complete file by opening the Par2 file that was uploaded with the original RAR files. If you are missing files and need to reconstruct the complete archive make sure you have enough Par2 files to complete the process.
QuickPar can also be used to create Par2 (PAR version 2.0 specification) also known as parity files/volumes. These Par2 file will help repair or reconstruct broken or missing RAR files. QuickPar uses the Reed Solomon Algorithm to create parity files.
