| Boilerpipe Text | Archiving different files is very useful for several reasons. On the one hand, together with archiving, you save several megabytes or gigabytes of space in the case of larger files, and on the other hand, you can put several files under one archive, which can be useful, for example, if you have hundreds of different files, but you don't want to send them to someone at once. There are several formats available for archiving. The Mac has absolutely no problem opening a ZIP file, but when it comes to a RAR file, it's a different story. By default, you cannot open files with the RAR extension in macOS, and unfortunately you have to use third-party applications to do so. If you are wondering which of these applications is the best and how to open RAR files in it, then be sure to read this article to the end.
How to open RAR files on Mac
Personally, I have been using it on my computer for several years now. MacBooku for opening files with the RAR extension program
The Unarchiver
. It is completely available
Free
v App Mac Store - you can download it either by searching or using
this link
. After download
run the application
and the window that appears,
close it.
Now you need to set up automatic opening of RAR files with The Unarchiver.
Find it
i.e. on macOS
file with RAR extension
, and on the one after that
right click
. Click on the option in the menu
Information
and in the new window that appears, click the option at the bottom
Open in app
. Select an option from the list here
The Unarchiver
, and then click the button
Change all…
 To open the RAR file now just click on it
they clicked twice
. The program starts
The Unarchiver
, where you simply choose,
kam
has a file
extract.
 Then just click the button
Unpack.
When extracting for the first time, in some cases it is still necessary to approve this action in the system preferences.
In the settings of The Unarchiver, you can of course choose to use it to open other formats in addition to RAR files. So you can use The Unarchiver, for example, to open extensions 7z, zipx, bin, tgz, tar, mdf, cdi and others. However, if you want to make the work of other Mac users more pleasant, then never send them files with the RAR extension. It is always better to choose a ZIP that can be opened by both macOS users as well as OS users without any problems Windows. |
