Unzipping Files on Mac: Easy Steps to Extract Your Downloads
Unzipping files on a Mac is straightforward. Here’s how you can do it:
- Locate the Zip File: Find the zip file you want to unzip. Usually, it will have a “.zip” extension.
- Double-click to Unzip: Simply double-click on the zip file. This action should automatically unzip the contents into a folder with the same name as the zip file, located in the same directory as the original zip file.
- Alternative Method: If double-clicking doesn’t work as expected (which is rare), you can right-click (or Control-click) on the zip file. From the contextual menu, choose “Open With” and then select “Archive Utility” or “Finder” (depending on your macOS version).
- View Unzipped Contents: Once unzipped, you can access the contents of the folder normally through Finder.
- Third-party Apps: If you prefer more features or options, there are several third-party apps like The Unarchiver or Keka available on the Mac App Store that offer more control over archive formats.
By following these steps, you should be able to unzip files on your Mac easily.
