BestZip 2 is a Mac unarchiving app for people who regularly receive compressed files in formats that macOS cannot open on its own. It extracts a long list of archive types, including ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, GZ, ISO and many less common formats, and it can also create ZIP archives for sending files on. A preview feature lets you look inside an archive and extract only the files you actually need, and password-protected archives are supported, which makes it a handy everyday utility for downloads, backups and shared project files.

Key Features

  • Extracts ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, GZ, ISO and dozens of other formats
  • Preview archive contents and extract only selected files
  • Supports password-protected and encrypted archives
  • Batch extraction for unarchiving several files at once
  • Drag-and-drop interface that is simple for everyday use
