For more resources about 7Zip for other operating systems, check out our other articles on 7Zip.
So, you are one of society’s opulent citizens or perhaps meticulous with the software and security. Thus, you prefer using Mac computers. As a matter of fact, some programs and software for Windows, Linux, and Mac are programmed differently. This goes the same with 7Zip for Mac.
By default, Mac OS X is incapable of handling these files. But this shouldn’t be much of an issue as there are lots of other archiving tools available that can open a .7z file and other file compression formats.
The 7Zip file formats are considered better file compression settings because of their high security and overall stability. It 7Zip can compress any file much better than ZIP and WinRAR or WinZip. This makes 7Zip safer and a much better choice.

A Walkthrough on 7-Zip for Mac
Keep on reading as we are going to walk you through the steps for opening .7z archive files regardless of what version of Mac OS you are using. Don’t worry, it is easy and quick to do even it gets an error cannot open a file as an archive sometimes. Here’s how it goes.
- Download “The Unarchiver” first. The latest version is 4.3.0 and supports macOS 10.7 or later. the file is 15.2 MB. You can either download it from the Mac App Store or click here for direct download.
- The application is relatively small so you should be able to get it installed for a few seconds depending on your internet speed.
- As soon as The Unarchiver application finishes installing, open it and you will see the file association list.
- Launch the Unarchiver and there you’ll find the file association list, inform the Unarchiver to associate it with .7z files.
- The moment that you’ve associated the Unarchiver with .7z you could then double-click any .7z file on your Mac computer. It will then open and uncompress like other archive formats or launch Unarchiver and just drag and drop the 7z files to the utility.

This is everything that you have to know in opening any .7z archive files saved on your Mac computer. After installing the UnArchiver and associated it with .7z 7Zip files, you may now launch the .7z archive simply by double-clicking on it. Inside the UnArchiver utility, your file will open and decompress the original 7z file. It will exit the app automatically when it is finished. It is possible to directly open the Unarchiver and open the file in the Unarchiver directly where it’ll be extracted.
Reminder
Since 7Zip archives have undergone a strong compression procedure, it sometimes takes a while in order to completely extract large 7z files. Don’t be surprised as well if the 7Zip has expanded to something bigger than the original file size as the size of the archive. This is totally normal. Just be sure that you have enough disk space to accommodate all the uncompressed data.
Unarchiver is a well-known solution to all kinds of archive formats available on Mac. It’s been discussed as an alternative when you have to unRAR and open RAR files in Mac OS and it can open virtually any archive format you might come across. This can include but not limited to:

This is regardless if you’re using the latest release, Sierra, macOS High Sierra, Mac OS X El Capitan, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Snow Leopard, Yosemite, and so forth.

Thanks for the hint. After hearing it, I can't believe I didn't think of it, but I didn't. I just gave up after seeing those darn .exe extensions. Thanks again.
My company issues manuals in the form of self-extracting .exe files for Windows machines.
But I find that I can just drop the .exe file on Stuffit Expander and have it extract the files without have to change the extension to .zip.
/sw/bin/unzip indicates you installed it with Fink. Fink installs all of its software into /sw.

Answering the age-old question: which is more painful, going to work or gouging your eye out with a spoon?

/sw/bin/unzip indicates you installed it with Fink. Fink installs all of its software into /sw.
Not necessarily. The existence of /sw/bin/unzip only suggests it belongs to Fink. In this case, Fink appears to require unzip as part of the base install. I did not explicitly install unzip from Fink.
This is why I specified the two versions: zip and unzip is installed with the OS and are located in the usual places. Fink will place an additional unzip (only) in it's root.
What would happen if stuffit were made the 'default app' for files with the .exe & .EXE suffix?
On my system, they are set to Radnor (which I installed to test, but don't actually use), which brings up a related point: if you had a dos version of unzip on your system, and if the default app for .exe was Radnor, then wouldn't dosbox start & self-extract the file?
Greg Shenaut
Remember not all .exe's are zip files.
Some windows downloads are basically a small unzip utility, and a zip archive. But some other installers don't unzip and are compressed in other fashions.
Otherwise this is a great thing to keep in the back of your mind.
So Remember if it fails it may not be stuffit's fault, but it might really be a program excutable.

I thought once I was found but it was only a dream
I also never thought of this. I tried the drag and drop method and it just didn't do anything, and deluxe just said 'what the heck am I supposed to do with this???' I tried it on some files that caused deluxe to hiccup previously and they extracted no problem. BIG thanks.
The .exe's you are referring to are self extracting zip archives. Just a .zip with a code stub of winzip (or another util) attached so it can extract the files from the .zip archive. It's basically the equivalent of using stuffit to create a self extracting archive in case someone doesn't have stuffit installed on their mac.
Though I doubt there's any mac user anywhere who doesn't have at least one copy of stuffit expander installed on some drive somewhere. :-)
The other.exes are probably just plain old applications, and all sorts of weirdness can happen with those. They really should use some other extension for self extracting .zip archives to help us cut down on the confusion. ;-)
You could also just drag the exe file to Expander.
just verifying this comment, many of these '.exe' files that are compressed, don't need to be renamed, you can just drag them onto stuffit expander and it will decompress.
(I've done this with some ethernet card drivers, downloaded before)

No one of these programs solves my problem: I tried Stuffit, The Unarchiver.app and some more...
Always: this program can not open 'setup.exe' Curios: It is Painter for Mac X ! But I got that bloody 'setup.exe' file in that download.
