It often happens that you only need to preview the contents of the ARC file, without the need to edit or process the data contained in it. In this case, it is enough that you use the so-called ARC Viewer. This type of tool is nothing more than a program or an online application that allows you to easily view the content of the data stored in the ARC file. You have several options to view the contents of the ARC file:
If our ARC Viewer Online did not help you, you have a few more options. For starters, we suggest installing software that supports ARC files You can try to open your ARC file with one of these applications. By choosing the option to install dedicated software, you will also be able to e.g. edit the ARC file and sometimes even convert the ARC file.
Note, however, that this solution requires you to download and install the software dedicated to handling the ARC file on your device. In this situation, unfortunately, you cannot see the ARC file online. Here you will need more time to use this solution, but you will also have more options. Below you will find a list of example applications that are dedicated to working with the ARC file - for the full list go to ARC File Opener
If you haven't been able to preview the contents of the ARC file yet, or you don't want to install any dedicated programming to handle these files, you can try something else. A lot of file formats contain plain text data or packed data. If this is the case, you can try to preview the contents of ARC file with "Notepad". I can at least to some extent let you see the contents of the file with the extension ARC.
The second attempt may be with a data archiving program. Try to open your file with e.g. Winrar or Winzip. If our theory proves to be correct, you should see the tree of files contained in the archive. To get information about what kind of data it is, go to the subpage with information about the ARC file extension.
