Unzip Files on Mac
Open RAR, 7z, and other archives on your Mac without installing The Unarchiver or any other software. Works directly in Safari or Chrome - just drag and drop.
The Mac Archive Problem
macOS can only open ZIP files natively. For RAR, 7z, or even TAR.BZ2 files, you need third-party software like The Unarchiver, Keka, or command-line tools. JustUnzip handles all these formats directly in your browser - no App Store download required.
Formats Mac Can't Open Natively

macOS has no native RAR support at all.
7z Archives
No native 7-Zip support on Mac.
TAR.BZ2 / TAR.XZ
Requires Terminal or third-party tools.
JustUnzip
Opens all of these in Safari or Chrome.
How to Extract on Mac
- 1 Open JustUnzip in Safari or Chrome

Drop your RAR, 7z, or other archive onto the drop zone.
- 3 Download to your Mac
