High compression ratio

7-Zip offers users a high compression rate that is ideal when it comes to reducing the size of your files. What's more, the optimization of the 7z format will give you up to 70% better performance in most processes. However, do bear in mind that it will take a little longer to decompress the data afterwards.

Password protection

When it comes to protecting your data, 7-Zip even allows you to password-protect your zipped files. This means that, when extracting your files, you will have to enter the correct password in order to start the decompression process. This will prevent, in a matter of seconds, anyone from accessing the data in question.

Download 7-Zip for Mac and enjoy all the possibilities offered by one of the best free file compressors on the market. The simplicity when executing any action, the wide compatibility and AES-256 encryption are other key reasons to choose this program for your file compressing or decompressing needs.

7-Zip is for you if

✓ You want fast, simple file compression and extraction on Mac without slowing your computer
✓ You value high compression ratios to save disk space, especially with optimized 7z performance
✓ You prioritize secure archives with password protection, AES-256 encryption, and broad support for many formats
