What is rZip?

rZip is the archive app for your Mac: look inside ZIP, RAR, 7z, and many other formats without extracting them, open password-protected or multi-part archives, and create your own with a simple drag.

Key Features

  • Look inside, without extracting: a complete list with expandable folders, sizes, dates, and file types; an archive summary with file count, space saved, and a chart by type
  • Previews in memory: photos, PDFs, and text are shown with no temporary files
  • Search and browse: search the whole archive, browse by category, go back and forward
  • Extract only what you need: everything or just the selection, or drag a file straight to Finder; existing files are never overwritten
  • Your choice of destination: ask every time, next to the archive, or a fixed folder
  • Protected and multi-part archives: password-protected 7z, ZIP, and RAR, even with an encrypted file list; volumes (.001, .part1.rar, .z01…) opened from any part; integrity check without extracting
  • Create and edit: 7z, ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.XZ, and TAR.BZ2 archives with a drag; AES-256 passwords, file names included, and split volumes; add or remove files in ZIP, 7z, and TAR without rebuilding them, with a backup copy in the Trash
  • No system clutter: .DS_Store and __MACOSX are left out automatically
  • All the popular formats: ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ISO, CAB, LHA, CPIO, XAR, plus JAR, EPUB, CBZ, and CBR
  • Native on macOS: drop onto the Dock icon, full menus and keyboard shortcuts, light or dark appearance, interface in English and Italian
  • Privacy: no account and no Internet connection, your files never leave your Mac

Platforms

Privacy Policy

Updated: October 8, 2026

Data Collected
The app processes information you enter directly: the archives you open and their contents, the files and folders you choose to create or edit an archive, the files created at your request, passwords of protected archives (in memory only, never saved), and the app's preferences. We do not collect sensitive data (health, payments, location, contacts, biometrics). No account or registration required.
Advertising & Tracking
No in-app advertising. No tracking or analytics — data is never sent to external servers for profiling.
Data Storage
All information stays on your device. Archives are read, created, and edited entirely on your Mac: rZip has no permission to use the network, and your files never leave your computer.
Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell or share data with third parties.
Your Rights
You can access, modify, and delete your data directly within the app.
