UnRAR Unarchiver is a simple and straightforward macOS app that allows you to expand and extract compressed files in a matter of seconds.

When it comes to unpacking compressed files on a Mac device, there are hundreds of apps and programs to choose from. Unfortunately, that software is often packed with features that users are never going to use. With unRAR Unarchiver, you can quickly and safely extract .rar and .zip files in a two-step process that only takes a few moments to complete. If you have been on the search for a user-friendly unpacking app for your Mac devices, then you might want to take a closer look at UnRAR Unarchiver.

In addition to being an extremely small file, UnRAR Unarchiver is also very lightweight. You will be able to pack and unpack huge files without bringing your computer or tablet to a grinding halt. After installing this software, your device should ask you if you would like to make it the default app for compressed files. If you agree, then you are going to see an option for UnRAR Unarchiver whenever you click on a .rar or .zip file. When you click on that button, you will be asked to confirm your decision before the file is fully unpacked.

The only setting that you might want to alter in this software is the target location for unpacked files. Inside UnRAR Unarchiver, you can change where you would like the extracted files to go. You can also have the software automatically delete or copy the original files depending on your preferences. Unfortunately, this program doesn’t allow you to compress your own files, and that is going to be a major problem for some users. You might also run into some problems if you are trying to extract files that are in unique archive formats such as TAR or 7z. Luckily, those file extensions can manually be changed if they aren’t working properly.

UnRAR Unarchiver isn’t a feature-packed extraction app, but it is going to get the job done. It was specifically designed for users who aren’t tech-savvy, and you won’t have to worry about altering the settings or mastering dozens of features before you use this software.
