Archiver is a private archive manager built natively for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
Open, preview, inspect, extract, and create archives. Archiver is a free download. An optional one-time Pro in-app purchase adds encrypted archive creation with AES-256, more than 3 presets, and batch extraction. Everything else is free.
FORMAT SUPPORT
• Read & Extract: ZIP, 7Z, RAR, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ZSTD, Brotli, ISO, CAB, WIM, and more.
• Create & Compress: ZIP, 7Z, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, TAR.XZ, TAR.ZST, TAR.BR, TAR.LZ4, XAR, and ISO. RAR archives can be opened and extracted, not created.
• Multi-volume and split archive extraction (.z01, .7z.001, .part1.rar).
• Encrypted archives: opens AES-256 and legacy ZipCrypto archives. New encrypted archives always use AES-256.
PREVIEW WITHOUT A FULL EXTRACT
• Browse files, folders, sizes, and compression ratios without extracting.
• Preview images, documents, audio, and text inside an archive without extracting all of it.
• Quick Look on iPhone, iPad, and Mac: Preview archive contents directly from Files or Finder.
• Thumbnails: See format badges in Files and Finder on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
SECURE & PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Data Not Collected: All archive work happens on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts, and no developer servers.
• Built-in Password Vault: Store archive passwords securely in the Apple Keychain, with optional iCloud Keychain sync that is off by default.
• AES-256 Encryption (Pro): Create password-protected ZIP and 7Z archives. 7Z archives can also encrypt file names.
DEEP PLATFORM INTEGRATION
• Universal Purchase: One purchase unlocks Pro across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
• Share Sheet on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro: "Compress with Archiver" creates a ZIP from shared files. To open a file in Archiver, choose Archiver in the share sheet's row of apps.
• Mac Services & Quick Actions: Compress and extract from Finder.
• AppleScript on Mac: Compress, extract, list, and test archives from scripts.
Notice: Archiver does not include or distribute copyrighted archives. Users supply their own files.
