Oka Unarchiver

Oka Unarchiver is a free, lightweight archive extractor that makes opening compressed files quick and simple. It supports a wide range of formats including 7z and other high-compression types, RAR (including variants), ZIP and other common compressed files. Designed for ease of use, it offers a clean, intuitive interface and drag-and-drop extraction for fast workflows, delivering consistent, low-impact performance and reliable results for routine file extraction; consider Submariner Free as an alternative.

iZip Unarchiver

iZip Unarchiver, developed by 晖李, is a free productivity application for creating and extracting archive files.

The Unarchiver

The Unarchiver is a free, lightweight utility for quickly opening a wide range of archive formats that many basic tools can’t handle. It supports formats such as 7z, RAR, tar.bz2, tar.gz, ZIP, StuffIt, LhA and others, and can deal with split archives and filenames using non-Latin character sets so archives created on systems with different language settings open correctly. It’s a practical, user-friendly alternative to built-in extractors, offering broader format support and greater reliability for problematic archives; if your current tool can’t open certain files or frequently reports errors, this application is worth trying.

UnRarX

UnRarX is a small, free utility that extracts files from RAR archives. It focuses solely on opening and unpacking RAR containers and does not create RAR archives. The app is lightweight and offers a simple drag-and-drop interface plus a Browse option, lets you choose an output folder, shows extraction progress and status, and allows cancelling. It can test archives for corruption, accept passwords for encrypted archives, and attempt to repair damaged archives using Par2 repair files. The UI is minimalist and geared for quick extraction; automatic updates are supported, though development is infrequent and broader format support has been requested. Alternatives include Keka, The Unarchiver, BetterZip, and WinZip.

qlZipInfo

qlZipInfo is a utility that lets you inspect ZIP archives without extracting them, showing the archive’s directory structure and filenames in a preview so you can confirm contents quickly while leaving the original file intact. This saves time, avoids creating temporary extracted files, reduces clutter, and helps you determine whether an archive contains the files you need before opening or extracting it. For broader compression and extraction needs, full-featured archive managers and dedicated extractors are available.

StuffIt Deluxe

StuffIt is a long-established compression and decompression utility that supports more than 30 archive types (including RAR, 7z, and split/segmented archives) and is aimed at streamlining work with large or mixed-format collections. It lets you inspect archive contents and choose specific files to extract, open encoded archives and compressed tarballs directly, and provides previewing and application integration so you can manage archives without full extraction. The suite also includes productivity utilities such as a drag-and-drop zone for applying saved preferences, disk-image creation, a scheduler for automated backups, and a compact installer creator. This edition is suited to users who need advanced previewing, selective extraction, and reliable cross-platform archives for sharing and managing large libraries of files; a popular free alternative is 7-Zip. Recent updates focus on minor bug fixes and interface refinements.

PeaZip

PeaZip is a lightweight, open-source archiving utility that combines archive creation and extraction with integrated file management. It supports a very large number of archive formats, uses multiple compression engines to balance speed and ratio, and offers controls for splitting/recombining archives, checksums, secure deletion, and fine-tuning compression parameters. It also includes robust security features—encrypted archive container support, strong ciphers (AES, Twofish, Serpent), an encrypted password store and optional two-factor authentication—and an intuitive, responsive user interface. These combined capabilities make it suitable for everyday archiving as well as more technical workflows that require format compatibility and strong file protection.

WinRAR

WinRAR is a long-standing archive manager that handles a wide range of compressed formats and provides fast compression and extraction, multithreading, integrity checks, recovery records, split-archive support, password protection and AES encryption. It includes tools for browsing and previewing archive contents, creating and managing archives, handling multi-part and encrypted files, and can integrate malware scanning of archived items; ongoing updates focus on performance and reliability for backups and large datasets. The interface is straightforward and utilitarian, with a guided Wizard for common tasks, though its visual design can feel dated and it shows persistent trial reminders that some users find annoying. Overall, WinRAR remains a dependable, feature-rich option for everyday archive handling, while users seeking a no-cost, open-source alternative often choose tools like 7‑Zip.

Express Zip Plus

Express Zip Plus is the paid, feature-rich edition of a file compression and archive management application that offers fast archive creation and extraction, format conversion, and tools for handling large archives. It supports a wide range of common archive formats, can split very large archives into multiple parts, convert other archive types into standard ZIP, and generate recovery data to repair incomplete or corrupted archives. Security features include password protection and encryption to safeguard sensitive files, plus optional recovery data for reliability. The Plus edition is intended for users who frequently create or move large batches of archives or need advanced options like multi-part archives and format conversion; the additional features aim to save time for power users and businesses.

Bandizip

Bandizip is a lightweight, fast archiving utility offered as a free edition with an optional one-time paid license for extra features. It emphasizes speedy, multicore compression and supports AES-256 encryption and a wide range of archive formats. The interface is uncluttered and easy to use, with drag-and-drop support, the ability to view and edit files inside archives without full extraction, and built-in integrity tests. Key strengths include very fast compression, broad format compatibility, and straightforward usability; areas for improvement are faster decompression, a corrupted-archive repair tool, more advanced features in the free tier, and expanded automation or batch-processing capabilities.

SimplyRAR

SimplyRAR is a free, minimal archive utility for creating and extracting compressed files. It handles RAR creation and extraction plus several common archive formats, offering a simple interface, fast performance, and reliable processing of large file sets without requiring complex configuration or fees. It’s suited to users who want a low-friction way to compress folders or retrieve files from archives. For extraction-focused or lighter-weight needs, UnRarX is a recommended free alternative that emphasizes reliable, efficient batch extraction with a small footprint and straightforward interface.

Archiver

Archiver (trial) is a lightweight file compression and extraction utility that lets you preview core compression and decompression features before purchasing. It supports common archive formats (ZIP, TAR, and others) to ensure broad compatibility, and focuses on fast packing and unpacking to speed file management while preserving original data. Designed for ease of use, the interface streamlines routine tasks so casual users can compress or extract files quickly while still providing essential features for more demanding workflows. The trial unlocks core functionality for testing performance and format support; a paid license removes trial limits and provides the full feature set.
