The useful part

For anyone who wants powerful archive tools without having to think like an archive expert.

RARity brings the proven depth of PeaZip into a simpler Good Tools experience. Open ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, ISO, CAB, and hundreds of related formats; extract RAR files with the official UnRAR engine; or create ZIP and 7z archives directly from Finder and File Explorer.

Finding the right tool

Looking for a WinRAR or 7-Zip alternative?

RARity is a friendly archive manager for people comparing WinRAR, 7-Zip, PeaZip, and other ZIP or RAR extractors on Mac and Windows.

It opens and extracts RAR files with the official UnRAR engine, creates ZIP and 7z archives, and keeps the licensing boundary clear: compressed RAR creation needs RARLAB’s separately installed official engine.

What it does
