Description

The Unarchiver is a small and easy to use program that can unarchive many different kinds of archive files. It will open common formats such as Zip, RAR (including v5), 7-zip, Tar, Gzip and Bzip2. It will also open many older formats, such as StuffIt, DiskDoubler, LZH, ARJ and ARC. It will even open other kinds of files, like ISO and BIN disc images, some Windows .EXE installers. The list is actually much longer - see the program homepage for the full list. The Unarchiver also tries to detect and correctly handle the filename encoding in the archives it opens, allowing you to open files from every part of the world without getting garbled filenames. The Unarchiver aims to be the only unarchiving program you will ever need, and to stay out of your way. Also, if you need to open archives on your iPad or iPhone, look for "Archives" on the App Store, or go to https://theunarchiver.com/archives. It is based on The Unarchiver, and lets you easily handle Archives on iOS!

  • Why must developers ruin a great app with ads?!

    A small banner ad now appears every time I unpack a compressed file. This is just unacceptable. I like many others am now deleting this app and looking for alternatives.

    Sold out to macpaw and now shows ads even in the paid version with no way to check for purchases.
  • Was great before the ads

    This used to be my go-to app for extracting .rar files, but I haven’t used it in a while, and now it pops up ads for scamware whenever you use it. That is extremely disappointing.
  • Garbage ads

  • Banner Ads!

    I started to see banner ads. Then checked preferences and learned they’ve been collecting data and don’t divulge what data, suggesting all allowed. Deleted.
  • Ads now

    Great software ruined by ads.
  • Can’t get past the initial dialog

    This is forcing me to pick what associations the app has, and does not allow deselect. Useless - can’t get past it. Other reviews say the same thing. Avoid this ad filled spyware nonsense.
  • Shows ads when unzipping

    This used to be one of the best tools. Now it shows ads when you unzip files. I would not recommend it to anyone anymore.
  • Has banner ads now :(

    This release now displays ads and leaves the app running after decompressing, instead of quitting gracefully.
