Extract and unzip ZIP, RAR, and other archives instantly with a clean, native macOS app.

Updated June 2026 · v1.5.3

Screenshots

PressZip opens and extracts ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, and Gzip archives in a single click - no more hunting for the right app every time a different file type lands in your Downloads.

It runs entirely on your Mac. There's no account to create and nothing is ever uploaded - your files never leave your computer.

Highlights

  1. Every common format - extract ZIP, RAR, 7-Zip, TAR, and Gzip without installing a separate tool for each one.
  2. Peek before you extract - browse what's inside an archive and pull out just the files you actually need.
  3. Open With, one click - double-click an archive in Finder or right-click "Open With" and PressZip handles the rest.
  4. Make your own ZIPs - drop in files and folders to bundle them into a ZIP you can share in seconds.
  5. Password protection - create encrypted, password-protected archives, and open the ones other people send you.
  6. Recents at your fingertips - jump straight back to the archives you opened most recently.
  7. Reveal in Finder - extract files exactly where you want them and open the folder in Finder instantly.
  8. Native & lightweight - a fast macOS app that feels right at home in the dock, not a clunky web wrapper.

How it works

Drag an archive onto PressZip, double-click it in Finder, or choose Open With - the contents appear right away. Pick where you want them, hit Extract, and your files are ready. To compress, drop in the files you want to bundle and PressZip builds a ZIP for you, with an optional password.

Perfect for

  1. Anyone who downloads ZIP or RAR files - and just wants them open, without the fuss.
  2. Mac users without WinRAR - finally a native, no-nonsense way to open .rar archives.
  3. Sharing files - zip up a folder, add a password, and send it on with confidence.
  4. Keeping things tidy - extract only the files you need, exactly where you need them.
