7z, RAR, ZIP, TAR, GZip, BZip2, XZ, Zstandard, LZ4, CAB, ARJ, LHA, WIM, ISO, DMG, DEB, RPM and more — and any container with Open as Archive.

Creates the common ones

7z, ZIP, TAR, GZip, BZip2, XZ and Apple Archive, with split volumes, AES-256 encryption and self-extracting archives.

Lives in Finder

A context menu to compress, extract, test and checksum; Quick Look previews of archive contents; thumbnails with the file count.

Two-pane file manager

Browse folders and archives side by side; copy and move between them with F5 and F6, like the Windows 7-Zip you know.

Full compression control

Level, method, dictionary, word size, solid blocks, threads, update modes — with a live memory estimate.

Speaks your language

English, Russian and Tajik in full, plus menus and dialogs in 87 more languages from the 7-Zip translations.
