How Do I Open a RAR File in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:08 pm

Most people use WinRAR to compress and decompress files. Photoshop also has its own file compression utility, and both programs can open .rar files.

If you have WinRAR installed, you can open the .rar file in Photoshop by doing the following:

PRO TIP: RAR files are not native to Photoshop, and therefore cannot be opened directly in the program. However, there are a few workarounds that will allow you to open and extract the contents of a RAR file in Photoshop. One method is to use a free third-party extraction program like 7-Zip or WinRAR to open the RAR file, then save the extracted images as individual files that can be opened in Photoshop. Another method is to use Adobe Bridge, which is included with Photoshop, to browse and open RAR files.

1. Right-click on the .rar file and select “Open With.” 2. Choose “WinRAR.” 3. Select “Extract To.” 4. Choose a location to extract the files to.

5. Click “OK.”
6. Open the extracted folder and double-click on the file you want to open in Photoshop. 7. Select “Open With.” 8. Choose “Adobe Photoshop.” 9. The file will now open in Photoshop.
