RAR Archiver

The software functions as an archive manager that can create, open, and extract a variety of compressed file formats. It supports full RAR and ZIP handling and also decompresses CAB, GZIP, and other archive types, allowing users to unpack files downloaded from the Internet. In addition to extraction, it can generate new archives in RAR and ZIP formats, providing a means to compress data for storage or transmission, such as reducing the size of email attachments.

It includes features for backing up data, enabling users to archive collections of files for later retrieval. The application is available for macOS and is listed as a stable release, indicating it is intended for regular, production‑level use.

The tool is distributed by the RARLAB organization, which maintains the WinRAR and RAR products, and offers a trial version for evaluation before purchase.
