The best Mac alternative is 7-Zip, which is both free and Open Source. With more time 7-Zip makes even smaller files.ĭecompressing rar files is faster with both programs though.WinRAR Alternatives for Mac: 25+ File Archivers and File Compressors | AlternativeTo (function()() Skip to main contentSkip to site searchPlatformsCategoriesOnlineWindowsAndroidMaciPhoneLinuxiPadAndroid TabletProductivitySocialDevelopmentBackupRemote Work & StudyLoginSign up HomeFile ManagementWinRARAlternativesWinRAR Alternatives for MacThere are many alternatives to WinRAR for Mac if you are looking for a replacement. But trades some compression for speed.ħ-Zip makes slightly smaller file than WinRAR in slightly shorter time. The powershell will tell how long it took.ħ-Zip is fastest to compress when aiming to speed. Want to test this yourself? Just use powershell and run command Measure-Command for WinRAR. I guess HDD can't feed data to CPU fast enough and reading smaller more compressed file is faster, except 7z files were much slower to open. There wasn't much difference between the two programs.ĭecompressing 7z files took 6.5-7.7 seconds, higher compression decompressed faster.ĭecompressing rar files took 2.7-3.5 seconds, higher compression decompressed faster. All the lower quality settings reached 100% on all cores but these two didn't go above 45%. The results are quite similar to the older results.ħ-Zip fastest is faster than WinRar fastest but has lower compression.ħ-Zip fast takes about same time as WinRar fast but compress slightly more than any WinRar setting.ħ-Zip normal is a bit slower than any WinRAR setting but also compresses more.ħ-Zip maximum and ultra take long time for slightly smaller file.
Results: (ordered from fastest to slowest)
Only compression quality was changed, all other settings were at their defaults in all tests. But we'll see how it goes.ħ-Zip compressed to 7z. This hardware is weaker than hwat they used on that tom's hardware test. The folder contained 328 files (mostly pdf but some other too). I compressed a folder and timed the compression time. I decided to do quick tests to see if updates to these programs have changed anything. There is this benchmark but it is many years old already. And as usual people argued a bit about using either WinRAR or 7-Zip. There was again one of those "must have programs" post somewhere.
