The archive utility
macOS deserves.

Compress, browse, and extract 30+ formats with a simple drag and drop. Powerful when you need it, invisible when you don’t.

Five screens. That's the whole app.

No wizard mazes, no toolbar walls. Every screen explains itself — you already know how to use it.

BROWSE

Open it. Don't unpack it.

A Finder-familiar list of everything inside the archive, including subfolders. Search finds a file in a 10 GB backup in milliseconds. Drag a row out to extract just that file.

Power tools, zero clutter.

⌘1

One-key extraction

Pin folders as Places. Press ⌘1 and the archive lands in Downloads — or drop files straight onto a Place in the sidebar.

∥

A queue that never blocks

Compress, extract, and test in parallel. A file conflict pauses one item, not your afternoon.

␣

Space to preview

Quick Look PDFs, images, and video inside the archive — streamed, never written to disk.

.001

Big files, small pieces

Split archives to fit any upload limit. Open a .001 and XZIP finds the rest of the set automatically.

✎

Edit & save back

Open an archived file in any app. Hit save, and the archive updates itself. No unpack–repack dance.

⌃

Right there in Finder

Compress, extract, and run your presets from the right-click menu — without launching XZIP at all.

SECURITY

Honest security.

Real AES-256 on 7Z and ZIP. Passwords live in your macOS Keychain — never in our cloud, because there isn't one. Apps pulled from archives stay quarantined until you approve them.

And when a format can't fully protect you, XZIP says so — right in the dialog.

!ZIP shows filenames even with a password. Choose 7Z to hide them.

How XZIP compares.

Against the built-in Archive Utility and the usual suspects.
