What is The Unarchiver?

The Unarchiver is a versatile application capable of extracting a wide variety of archive file formats, both modern and legacy. It supports common compression methods such as Zip, RAR (up to version 5), 7-zip, Tar, Gzip, and Bzip2, as well as older formats like StuffIt, DiskDoubler, LZH, ARJ, and ARC. The Unarchiver's capabilities extend beyond just archives, as it can also handle disc image files in ISO and BIN formats, as well as certain Windows executable installers. Its extensive file format support ensures users can reliably access content from diverse sources without encountering issues with garbled filenames, thanks to the program's ability to detect and correctly handle various encoding standards
