“Extract RAR files for free”

by Cyril Roger about RAR Expander

Handling RAR files on Mac can be quite common, so you need a solution to extract them quickly and easily.

I've found RAR Expander to be such a program.

Open up your archive with the program and it will take care of the rest. It's most important feature is handling multi part archives, quite useful when you're expanding a file containing multiple video parts for example.

RAR Expander will also work with password protected files, but you'll have to make sure you remember your password before expanding.

The real downside to using RAR Expander is that it is exclusively limited to the RAR format.

While this is one of the most common formats you'll come across, it's a shame that the program doesn't let you expand other popular formats like Stuffit Expander does.

Users have also been known to prefer unRarX, which effectively restores corrupted archives, something that RAR Expander doesn't seem to handle.

Pros
  • Simple and stable
  • Supports single and multi part archives
Cons
  • Limited to rar files
  • Doesn't restore corrupted files

Developer's description

RAR Expander is a MacOSX program which extracts the files contained in RAR archives. It supports both single and multi-part archives, and has support for password-protected archives as well.

It uses the official unRAR library internally so it is fully compatible with archives produced by WinRAR. RAR Expander also features AppleScript support, and includes a few useful example scripts for expanding multiple archives at once.

    simple, works

    it is simple, it works

    Instead of having to put all files into it, one just opens the archive file.
    It does nothing else - so no confusion

    This was for Mac Version on os 10.6.5... More
