rar is a compressed file, like a zip, it needs to be unzipped. Plus you will want to upload the images as jpg files, it takes less of the ST bandwidth/CPU usage. png files are much larger than jpg, and some browser won't show png images on these forums.

    If it was once a png, and is now a rar, then you must have the RAR program, use it to extract the png. The you need to open the image file in a drawing, or image editor, and save/export it as a jpg. Window Paint will do that, or a program like Photoshop.
