BetterZip 6.1 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesBetterZip is an archive manager for Mac from MacItBetter, in development since 2006. Its main strength is that you can open an archive, look inside, and add, delete, rename or extract individual files without unpacking and rebuilding the whole thing. It handles the formats people actually receive - ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR and many more - and integrates with the Finder, so compressing and extracting become part of your normal file workflow rather than a separate chore.
Key Features
- Open and extract more than 30 archive formats, including ZIP, RAR and 7z
- Edit archives in place: add, delete, rename and move files without re-creating them
- Create archives in ZIP, 7z, TAR, DMG, ISO and other formats
- Quick Look extension to preview archive contents in the Finder
- Encryption support for archives, plus automation through Shortcuts and a command-line helper
