| Boilerpipe Text | MacOS does not have a problem with compressed files, i.e. it does not mind files with the .ZIP extension. You can open them in macOS with complete ease in a few seconds. A bigger problem can then arise with .RAR files, which in a way are similar to classic .ZIPs, but are more abundant in Windowseh. Anyway, even files with the .RAR extension can be opened quite simply in macOS, you just have to know how.
File compression is mainly done to reduce the size, but it is also widely used when you have a lot of files and want to keep them under one archive. Imagine, for example, that you have a thousand photos and you want to upload all these photos one by one to some storage - you would probably go crazy. Even in this case, you can go for compression, which combines all files under one archive and reduces the resulting size. So let's see together how to open .RAR files in macOS.
How to extract .RAR files in macOS
To extract .RAR files on macOS, you need to download a third-party program. According to my own experience, the best program is called
The Unarchiver
which you download on Mac App Store or using
this link
. After downloading, it is practically not necessary to set anything else. When you open The Unarchiver, it only jumps out at you
simple setup
, in which you can choose all the files you want with this program
unpack
. So now it's enough
find the .RAR file
, which you want to extract,
double tap on it
, choose the location where the files will be extracted and click on
Unpack
. Once everything is done, it will appear in the selected location
all extracted items
.
In the settings of The Unarchiver, you may have noticed that more formats are available than just .RAR. All possible files are available such as .7z, .zipx, .bin, .tgz, .tar, .mdf, .cdi and countless others. With the help of The Unarchiver, you can easily unpack all the files on your Mac, and maybe even those you never dreamed of. Personally, I've been using The Unarchiver practically since I bought my first Mac and I'm completely satisfied with it.
In any case, to avoid inconvenience and complications when the other party will not be able to open the archive, always choose .ZIP instead of .RAR. .ZIP is simply safe and you open it easily both in macOS and in Windowsech without the slightest problem and downloading third-party applications. |
