16 Unarchiver
Compressed files are an essential aspect of many users’ workflow. And while macOS does a good job of extracting these files, power-users who work with a lot of ZIP files might do well to give Unarchiver a shot.
It’s a lightweight program that can extract a huge range of formats, from common types like Zip and RAR to older formats like ARC and LZH. Really, the list of archive files it can open is pretty staggering. It can also handle filename encoding, so you can open files from basically anywhere in the world without them getting garbled. And, along with being free, it’s incredibly easy-to-use (with what is basically a one-click operation).
