One of the many utilizations of the CAR file extension is as the compressed archive file for the CAR file compressor. This application makes files smaller in size so they can fit into storage devices for easier and faster transfer. The older version of CAR, the SAPCAR, also uses the CAR file extension to name its compressed files. These two applications can create the CAR file as a compressed file and they can also decompress the file.
