How to unzip files on Mac

Unzipping a file or folder couldn't be easier.

  • Double-click the zip file, and the file or folder decompresses in the same folder as the compressed file.

      

  • If the item you are decompressing contains a single file, the new decompressed item has the same name as the original file.

      

  • If a file with the same name is already present in the current folder, the decompressed file has a number appended to its name.
