Archiver — overview
Archiver is a graphical decompression and file processing tool for macOS users, primarily designed to open common archive formats such as RAR, Zip, and 7Zip, and to repackage and compress files to reduce their size. Beyond routine extraction and compression, it also supports splitting large files into smaller chunks or merging split files back together, making transfer and backup more convenient. Operations are centered on a graphical interface, so there is no need to memorize commands. It suits ordinary users who regularly need to handle archives and organize large files but do not want to wrestle with complex tools.
