How to Unzip 7z Files on a Mac with Password

Are you looking for a way to open and decompress 7z files on your Mac? Look no further than The Unarchiver, a popular solution that can handle all sorts of archive formats, including 7z. In this article, we will show you how to unzip 7z files on a Mac with password using The Unarchiver.

The Unarchiver is a free utility that can open and decompress many different types of archives, including 7z, zip, sit, tgz, tar, gz, rar, bzip, hqx, and more. It's available for download from the internet, or you can get it from the Mac App Store.

To start, you'll need to download The Unarchiver and install it on your Mac. Once installed, you can associate The Unarchiver with 7z files by following these steps:

1. Launch The Unarchiver.

2. In the file association list, select 'Other' and then choose '7z'.

3. Click 'OK' to save the changes.

Now that The Unarchiver is associated with 7z files, you can open a 7z file by double-clicking on it. The file will be decompressed in the same location as the original 7z file, and then the application will automatically exit when finished.

It's important to note that 7z archives are strongly compressed, which means that they can take a little while to extract. Additionally, the extracted files may be larger than the original 7z file, so make sure you have sufficient disk space to accommodate the uncompressed data.

Finally, let the decompression of the 7z complete before attempting to open or interact with the extracted files' contents. This will ensure that all of the files are fully decompressed and ready for use.

By following these steps, you should be able to unzip 7z files on your Mac with password using The Unarchiver.
