FreeArc is a general-purpose archiver developed by Bulat Ziganshin for Microsoft Windows. It creates compressed archives that group files and folders together with the metadata needed to extract them.
The .wrc format belongs to the FreeArc software family and is used for storing compressed archive data. PeaZip for Microsoft Windows also supports working with this archive format.
On Microsoft Windows, open a .wrc file with FreeArc. PeaZip can also open and extract these archives.
If the file does not open by double-clicking, start one of these programs and use its Open or Extract command to select the archive.
A .wrc file is an archive rather than a document, so conversion normally means extracting its contents and creating a new archive in another format.
PeaZip can extract the files and create an archive in another supported format. The original .wrc archive remains unchanged.
