Convert 074 to R13

Understanding 074 and r13 file formats

074 and r13 files are both associated with multi-part archive files, commonly created by compression utilities such as WinRAR. The 074 file is the 74th part of a split archive, while the r13 file is the 14th part (since numbering starts from r00). These files are not standalone formats but segments of a larger compressed archive, typically with extensions like .rar, .r00, .r01, ..., .r13, ..., .074, etc.

Purpose of converting 074 to r13

Direct conversion from 074 to r13 is not a standard file conversion. Instead, it usually involves renaming or reordering parts of a split archive to restore or repair the archive sequence. This may be necessary if a part is missing or misnamed, preventing extraction.

How to convert or rename 074 to r13

If you need to change a .074 file to .r13, you can simply rename the file:

• Locate the .074 file in your file explorer.
• Right-click and select Rename.
• Change the extension from .074 to .r13.
• Confirm the change if prompted.

Ensure that the sequence of all archive parts matches the expected order for extraction.

Best software for handling split archives

The most reliable software for working with multi-part archives is WinRAR:

• Download and install WinRAR.
• Place all parts of the archive (including the renamed file) in the same folder.
• Right-click the first part (usually .rar or .r00) and select Extract Here or Extract to [folder].

WinRAR will automatically process all parts in sequence, as long as they are correctly named and present.

Tips and troubleshooting

• Always back up files before renaming.
• If extraction fails, check for missing or corrupted parts.
• Use 7-Zip as an alternative if WinRAR encounters issues.
