Features in a nutshell

Extract Archives

Wondering how to open a downloaded file? Archiver makes it easy to extract a variety of archive formats, including RAR, Zip, 7zip, and more.

Compress and Secure

Free up disk space by compressing files and folders with high-yield formats. Additionally, protect sensitive data by creating encrypted, password-protected archives.

Preview Archives

Quickly view the contents of an archive without extracting everything. Use QuickLook to preview files and selectively unzip only what you need.

Customize

Tailor Archiver to your preferences with options for compression levels, output folders, and automatic archive removal after extraction.

Archiver runs on macOS 15 (Sequoia) and later, including Tahoe.

Also available on the Mac App Store. Please note that due to Apple's sandbox restrictions, the Mac App Store version does not support creating RAR files. For full functionality, please download the direct version.

Multi-Task

Archiver is geared to take full advantage of your Mac. You can extract multiple archives by simply dragging them onto the app. Archiver unpacks the archives in parallel to leverage the highest possible performance.

You have a file too large to fit on a disk or send by email? With Archiver you can split files into smaller files of any desired size. Optionally compress the split files to squeeze out some extra space, or checksum them for added security.
