RAR Archiver

RAR Archiver is a handy tool for anyone using a Mac who wants to compress files easily. While Apple lets you zip files right from your OS X, creating RAR archives takes a little more effort since you need a third-party app like RAR Archiver. But don't worry, it's super simple!

Easy File Compression

The RAR Archiver app makes it really easy to take a bunch of files and compress them into a single RAR file. You can either drag and drop your files into the app’s window or pick them from a pop-up dialog. It’s quick and straightforward!

Create Multi-Part Archives

If you're dealing with larger amounts of data, RAR Archiver can help you create multi-part RAR files. This feature is great for spreading your files across multiple storage devices. Plus, when you want to access those files later, just double-click the archive to unzip it hassle-free.

Password Protection Made Simple

Another cool thing about RAR Archiver is that you can easily create password-protected RARs! Just check the box for “Password protect the RAR archive” in the Archive Files Assistant, set your password, and bam! All your archives will be locked up tight.

Custom Save Locations

You also have control over where your compressed files go. You can set a default folder in Preferences or let the app ask each time you save. Want all generated archives next to your original files? No problem!

Add Files to Existing Archives

If you want to add more stuff to an existing RAR archive, just use the “Add files to archive” option under the File menu. It’s as easy as selecting what you want to add, and it packs everything together instantly.

A Must-Have for Mac Users

If you're looking for an efficient way to manage file compression on OS X, RAR Archiver is definitely worth checking out! With its better compression method than ZIP, added security with password protection, and options for multi-part archives, it’s a great addition to any Mac user’s toolkit.
