How to Open RAR Files on Mac?

Hey, Opening RAR files on Mac can be a tad tricky, especially if you're diving in without the right tools! No worries, though, I got you. Here's how I usually crack open those pesky RAR files:

FossZIP: This one's my go-to! It's lightweight, and does the job super well.

• Once it's installed, open it and it'll ask you which file types you want to associate with it. Make sure "RAR" is selected.
• After that, simply double-click on any RAR file and it should extract it seamlessly.

2. RAR Extract Frog: Another good one to consider.

• Just search for it online, download and install it.
• Once done, you can right-click on the RAR file and choose to open with RAR Extract Frog.

3. StuffIt Expander: Oldie but goodie. This app's been around for a while and can handle RAR files like a champ.

• Again, a simple online search should help you find it. Download, install, and use it to extract RAR files.

4. Command Line with Homebrew (for the tech-savvy ones):

Step 1. If you have Homebrew installed, simply open Terminal and type:

brew install unrar

Step 2. Once installed, navigate to the directory containing your RAR file using the 'cd' command.

Then extract it using:

unrar x [filename].rar

Safety First!: Just a heads up, always be wary of where you're downloading these tools from.

Hope one of these does the trick for you and gets those RARs sorted out on your Mac! 🍎🔓

there are many free and paid apps in the App Store that can open RAR files. I personally use the free app "Unzip One". it works well and is fairly quick. you can find it by searching "unzip one" in the App Store.

Hi,

The Application called Unarchiver which is available at AppStore for free is able to handle rar files.
