StuffIt Expander is a decompression utility for macOS that can extract and decompress a wide variety of archive formats, including ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, and the legacy StuffIt (SIT and SITX) formats. It was historically one of the primary tools Mac users relied on for handling compressed files before ZIP and other modern formats became standard. The app is available on the Mac App Store and supports drag-and-drop decompression for convenience. While most everyday archive needs are now handled by macOS's built-in Archive Utility, StuffIt Expander remains useful for legacy StuffIt files and less common compression formats.

1 suggestionStuffIt Expander is available on the Mac App Store, which typically distributes Universal Binaries. Check the App Store version (version 16 or later) to confirm you have the latest build — if you installed StuffIt Expander directly from a third-party download site, the App Store version is the most reliable way to ensure you have a native Apple Silicon build if one is available. For most users, macOS's built-in Archive Utility (which runs natively on Apple Silicon) is sufficient for everyday decompression of ZIP and standard formats. If you specifically need to extract legacy StuffIt files or uncommon formats that Archive Utility cannot handle, purchase the Mac App Store version to ensure native performance on M-series Macs. Confirm the architecture in the App Store product page or by checking About before purchasing.
