KekaKeka is the macOS file archiver. Drag files and folders onto Keka to compress them into a smaller archive, or double-click an archive to extract it. It creates 7z, ZIP, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, XZ, LZIP, DMG and ISO files, and opens many more formats, including RAR, 7z, ZIP, TAR, ISO, DMG, LZH and CAB. You can protect archives with a password using AES-256 encryption, split large archives into parts, and exclude Mac-only files such as .DS_Store. Keka is made by Jorge García in Barcelona.System Utilities
The UnarchiverThe Unarchiver is a small, free app that opens almost any kind of archive on your Mac. The Archive Utility built into macOS handles ZIP files, but The Unarchiver also opens RAR (including RAR5), 7-Zip, TAR, Gzip, Bzip2 and many older formats such as StuffIt, LZH, ARJ and ARC, as well as ISO and BIN disc images and some Windows installers. It is made by MacPaw and offered free on the Mac App Store.System Utilities
PeaZipPeaZip is a free file archiver and file manager that opens and creates archives in a huge number of formats. It supports more than 240 file extensions as archives, including 7Z, RAR, ZIP, TAR, GZ, XZ and many others, so you can extract almost any compressed file you come across. You can also create your own archives and protect them with encryption, all from a file browser that refreshes automatically.System Utilities
MacPackerMacPacker lets you browse archives like folders. Open a ZIP, RAR, 7z or one of more than 40 other formats and you see everything inside without extracting a single byte, even archives nested inside other archives. Drag out just the files you need instead of unpacking gigabytes for one file, preview files with Quick Look, and right-click in Finder to extract or compress without opening the app. When you do extract everything, several top-level items land neatly in a folder named after the archive.System Utilities
BetterZipBetterZip opens, browses and creates archives the Mac way. It extracts more than 30 formats, including ZIP, RAR, 7-Zip, TAR and ISO, and creates archives in ZIP, DMG, TAR, 7-Zip, Zstandard, XAR, ISO and more. You can look inside an archive before extracting it, take out only the files you need, and even add, delete or rename files inside an archive without unpacking it. BetterZip is made by MacItBetter, an independent developer since 2006.System Utilities
