How to fix CRC failed file is corrupt error from .rar or .zip

Read Time:24 Second

Hello,

When compressed file does not unpack correctly in .zip or .rar extraction we get error or warning saying

WinRAR:Diagnostic messages
F:xyz.zip:CRC failed in xyz file. The file is corrupt

If file size is small than you can try to re-download it.

Otherwise you can try to extract file by ignoring errors.

follow this steps:

1) right click on file
2) select extract files
3) in Miscellaneous options check “Keep broken files“

save settings

In most cases this method works just fine.
