BetterZip BetterZip is a powerful Mac platform compression software on the Mac. The biggest advantage of BetterZip is that it supports many compression formats and cross platform support of compressed packages, and supports the functions of compressed package content preview, encryption compression, volume compression, and so on. With BetterZip, users can quickly add and delete files to compressed files, so it is known as "WinRAR" on the Mac, It is one of the best compression and decompression tools for Mac at present.
BetterZip supports almost all compression formats. Its best feature is its good compatibility with the compression mode in Windows/Linux systems, and its native support for 10.7 and above systems. It can perform merging between files and provide passwords. With it, users can add and delete files to compressed files more quickly. It supports files in zip, gz, bz, bz2, tar, tgz, tbz, rar, 7-zip, cpio, arj, lha, lhz, cab, iso, chm, rpm, deb, nsis, sit, dd, hqx, bin and other formats.

BetterZip for Mac allows you to quickly check files without first extracting their contents. BetterZip for Mac only decompresses the files you really need. If you only need to extract several files or folders from a larger archive, you don't need to extract the whole thing. Just drag any Finder window or desktop file to the BetterZip for Mac window.
To create an archive: simply drag files and folders from your hard drive, disk, or network to a new zip file. You no longer need to copy all files in a temporary folder. Supported formats include ZIP, TAR, GZIP and bzip2 compressed tar, XAR, 7-ZIP, RAR (using external RAR command line tools). Large archives can also be split.

Preview
Preview or Quick Look files inside your archives without extracting first.
Protect Your Data
- Protect your data with strong AES-256 encryption. Never email sensitive files unencrypted or upload them to cloud services without protection.
- BetterZip’s password manager can collect a list of archive passwords in your keychain and use them automatically whenever you open an encrypted archive.
- BetterZip features a password generator similar to Safari’s. Let BetterZip suggest strong passwords whenever needed.
Finder Integration
- BetterZip allows you to add configurable services to macOS’ Services menu.
- The new Finder extension puts all your presets in the Finder’s toolbar. Select some files in Finder, click the BetterZip button and choose one of your presets from the drop-down menu to create an archive with these files. Of course, you can also invoke any of your extraction presets on selected archives.
Presets
BetterZip allows you to create presets for creating and extracting archives. Presets collect all settings that can be applied to an archive, from the destination folder and archive format, to passwords and even a script to execute after the operation completed.
Filtering
BetterZip can filter out unwanted files during archive extraction. No more Thumbs.db and other unwanted stuff from other systems! It can also prevent files from being put into your archive in the first place. You don’t want your hidden version control folders or backup files in the archive.
Extensive AppleScript Support
BetterZip can be scripted using AppleScript. Integrate it in your workflows.
BetterZip 4 includes Automator actions for compressing and extracting archvies.
BetterZip 4 integrates nicely with third party productivity tools like Alfred, LaunchBar, DropZone, and Hazel.
See the Automation page for more details.
Archive Comments
Display, add, and update archive comments for zip and rar formats. BetterZip can also display the file comments that may be present in zip files.
Test archives
- Quickly test an archive without extracting it to find out whether it is damaged.
- Test archives using the operations queue.
Integrated QL Generator
The widely used BetterZip Quick Look Generator is now integrated into BetterZip. Using the QL generator is still free for all, but there is one neat new feature that requires a BetterZip license (after the trial expired): The new QL generator lets you click a file in the archive. At this point it will hand command over to BetterZip which extracts and displays the clicked file. It’s really nice, if I say so myself.
