Archive Extraction Guides
macOS includes Archive Utility for basic ZIP files, but it cannot handle RAR, 7Z, ISO, or password protected archives. iPhone and iPad support is even more limited. These guides explain how to extract every major archive format on Mac, iPhone, and iPad using UnFox. Each guide covers the format in detail, walks through the extraction process step by step, and answers common questions. UnFox supports 37 formats across all Apple platforms with a single free app that makes zero network calls and collects zero data.
