QuikZip
Open demo
Edit a file
Open an entry with its default Mac app, make a change, and save the updated file back into a regular ZIP.
Native archive browser for macOS
Browse archives before you extract.
Browse archive trees, preview files, edit files inside regular ZIP archives, then save changes to the same archive or a new ZIP.
Browse and preview
Treat an archive like a folder.
Move through hierarchical or flat views, search archive contents, open nested folders, and inspect image, text, binary, and metadata previews without extracting the entire archive.
- Finder-like explorer and archive outline
- Quick Look-style previews
- Search, filters, breadcrumbs, and metadata
- Multiple open archive tabs
Create archives
Create clean, encrypted ZIP files.
Choose compression, add an AES-256 password, and decide whether selected items belong in one archive or separate ZIP files. Exclude presets keep macOS metadata and project build folders out of the result.
- ZIP creation from files and folders
- AES-256 encryption for new ZIP files
- Separate archive per top-level item
- Presets for .DS_Store, AppleDouble, Git, and node_modules
Edit archive contents
Change a ZIP without extracting and rebuilding it by hand.
Available actions match the archive you opened, so unsupported edits are never presented as if they will work.
Manage entries
Add files, rename entries, delete entries, and edit archive or entry comments in regular ZIP files.
Work with split ZIP sets
Open a complete split set, preview and extract its contents, edit file contents in QuikZip's materialized ZIP, and export a regular ZIP.
Extract precisely
Take out one file, one folder, or everything.
Extract selected entries, extract all, use the current folder, or return to the last destination. Conflict handling keeps existing files explicit instead of silently overwriting them.
- Selected and full extraction
- Extract Here and last-destination workflows
- Merge, keep-both, and conflict policies
- Finder reveal and metadata handling
Format capabilities
See capabilities for all 56 recognized format and container routes.
QuikZip recognizes archive, compressed-stream, package, disk-image, executable, and document-container formats. The capability view shows whether each route can list, preview, extract, create, or edit, because not every format supports the same operations.
- ZIP, split ZIP, 7z, RAR, TAR, and compressed TAR families
- CAB, AR, CPIO, XAR, LHA, ARJ, ZOO, ARC, PAK, DEB, and RPM
- DMG, ISO, WIM, CramFS, ROMFS, MSI, and macOS packages
- Office, OpenDocument, EPUB, Android, iWork, and other ZIP-based containers
Finder integration
Archive actions where your files already are.
Use macOS Services to open an archive, extract to a chosen destination, or compress selected Finder items to ZIP.

Keyboard first
Set shortcuts for the commands you use most.
Edit bindings for the command palette, opening, creating, extracting, Quick Look, search, and pane control. Conflicts are detected while you edit.
Privacy and safety
Check an archive before you trust or extract it.
Test archive integrity, validate CRC data, verify SHA checksum files and code signatures, and get useful diagnostics for damaged or incomplete archives. Extraction planning blocks unsafe output paths and avoids silent overwrites.
- Path traversal and unsafe-link protection
- Passwords kept for the session or saved in Keychain
- Archive tests, SHA checksum verification, and code-signature checks
- Preview and extraction cache cleanup
