How to open a 7z file on Mac.

Three steps, about a minute, and nothing left behind.

1

Drop the .7z file

Drag it onto the window above, or click to choose it in Finder.

2

See what’s inside

Every file and folder appears with its size, read by this page.

3

Save or convert

Download single files, or everything as one ZIP that macOS opens with a double-click.

What is a 7z file?

A 7z archive packs many files into one, usually much smaller than a ZIP, thanks to strong LZMA compression.

Made by 7-Zip

7z is the native format of 7-Zip, a free archiver for Windows, so it shows up in downloads, game mods and shared folders.

Not built into macOS

Archive Utility opens ZIP but not 7z, so double-clicking a .7z file on a Mac goes nowhere.

Opened here

OpenRAR reads 7z with libarchive in your browser: every file, every folder, nothing installed.

Questions.

How do I open a 7z file on a Mac?

Drop the .7z file on openrar.app. Your browser lists everything inside; save the files you need, or download them all as one ZIP that macOS opens natively.

Is there 7-Zip for Mac?

7-Zip makes a command-line version for macOS (7zz), used from Terminal. For a double-click and a window, use OpenRAR in your browser; or install OpenRAR for Mac, free for personal use, from openrar.app/mac.

Can I convert 7z to ZIP?

Yes. Open the 7z file, then choose Download all as ZIP. You get the same files and folders in a ZIP.

Can OpenRAR open password-protected 7z files?

Not yet. OpenRAR opens password-protected ZIP files, but not protected 7z or RAR archives.
