About This App
BetterZip 5 is a professional archive manager for Mac that handles far more than basic ZIP extraction, including format conversion, in-archive editing, encryption, and repeatable preset workflows. It opens more than 30 archive formats, including ZIP, RAR, 7-ZIP, TAR, DMG, ISO, StuffIt, ePub, and winmail.dat, while creating ZIP, DMG, TAR, 7-ZIP, XAR, Zstandard, Brotli, and other formats. Preview or selectively extract files without unpacking everything, update files directly inside an archive, remove Mac-specific metadata before sharing with Windows users, and automate recurring jobs through Finder extensions, AppleScript, Automator, and configurable presets.
