Convert 083 to R80

Understanding 083 and R80 file formats

083 files are part of a multi-volume compressed archive, typically created by WinRAR or similar archiving tools. These files are sequential parts (e.g., .r00, .r01, ..., .083) of a split archive, often used to distribute large files in smaller segments for easier downloading or storage.

R80 files are also split archive files, specifically the 81st part in a series of RAR multi-volume archives (starting from .r00). Both .083 and .r80 are not standalone files but segments of a larger compressed archive.

How to convert 083 to r80

Since both .083 and .r80 are essentially the same type of file—just different naming conventions for split RAR archives—there is no traditional "conversion" between them. Instead, you can rename the .083 file to .r80 if your extraction software expects the .r80 naming scheme.

To do this safely:

1. Ensure you have all parts of the archive (e.g., .rar, .r00, .r01, ..., .083).
2. Rename file.083 to file.r80.
3. Use an archive manager to extract the contents.

Best software for handling split archives

The most reliable software for working with split RAR archives is WinRAR. It automatically recognizes all parts of the archive, regardless of whether they use the .083 or .r80 extension, as long as the sequence is correct.

To extract:

• Open WinRAR.
• Navigate to the folder containing your archive parts.
• Select the first part (usually .rar or .r00).
• Click Extract To and choose your destination folder.

WinRAR will process all parts in sequence, including any renamed files.

Alternative tools

• 7-Zip: Free and open-source, supports RAR extraction.
• PeaZip: Another free tool for handling split archives.

Summary

There is no direct conversion between .083 and .r80 files, as both are parts of split RAR archives. Simply rename the file if needed, and use a tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the archive.
