Convert R13 to 003

Understanding R13 and 003 file formats

The R13 file format is commonly associated with the WinRAR software, which is used for compressing and archiving files. R13 files are part of a multi-volume archive, meaning they are one segment of a larger compressed file set. These files are typically used to split large archives into smaller, more manageable parts.

On the other hand, the 003 file format is also a part of multi-volume archives, often used by file splitting tools like HJSplit. These files are segments of a larger file that has been divided into smaller parts for easier distribution or storage.

How to convert R13 to 003

Converting an R13 file to a 003 file involves extracting the contents of the R13 archive and then using a file splitting tool to create a new multi-volume archive in the 003 format. This process requires two main steps: extraction and splitting.

Step 1: Extract R13 files

To extract R13 files, you will need a software like WinRAR. Follow these steps:

• Open WinRAR and navigate to the folder containing your R13 files.
• Select the first file in the sequence (usually with the .rar extension).
• Click on File → Extract to and choose a destination folder.
• WinRAR will automatically extract all parts of the archive, including the R13 file.

Step 2: Split files into 003 format

Once you have extracted the files, you can use a tool like HJSplit to split them into 003 format:

• Open HJSplit and click on Split.
• Select the file you want to split and choose the output size for each part.
• Click Start to begin the splitting process. The output files will be in the 003 format.

Best software for R13 to 003 conversion

The best software for handling this conversion is a combination of WinRAR for extraction and HJSplit for splitting. These tools are reliable and widely used for managing multi-volume archives.
