# The Unarchiver

> Extract common and older archive formats on a Mac

The Unarchiver extracts compressed files on a Mac. It supports formats such as ZIP, RAR, 7z, and TAR, along with older archive types. Some executable and disk-image formats are also supported, with the degree of support depending on the format.

Finder integration lets it open supported archives directly, and users can make it the default for those file types. It handles filenames using different character encodings, helping with archives created on other systems or in other languages. Once extracted, the files are available in ordinary folders for the user's usual applications and file-management tools.
