.r21 File Extension

Developer: Eugene Roshal
File type: WinRAR Split Archive Part 21
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .r21. Files with the file extension .r21 can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .r21 files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .r21 file?

The R21 file extension was developed by Eugene Roshal and it is attached to WinRAR Split Archive Part 21 or files that are compressed and belong to the multi-volume compressed .RAR archive parts. These files are the 21st part of the archive that’s been compressed and split in order to fit into multiple discs either for backup purposes or to transfer to another computer, etc. These R21 files are useful when it comes to the reconstruction of original files together with other parts of the split archive. R21 may not be the last part of the split archive files as RAR multi-volume archives could reach up to R99. The number after the letter R in this file extension actually represents the sequence or the part of the split archive. There are a number of archivers that can be used to open R21 files and Whirling Dervishes Alpha ZIP was added to the list as well as Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe 2011.

how to open a .r21 file?

Launch a .r21 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 .r21 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 .r21 files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .r21 file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a  .r21 file will open the correct application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .r21 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, .r21. 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.
