Unzipping a file on a mac computer is user-friendly and intuitive. 

To unzip files on a mac, simply follow the steps below:

  1. Double click the zipped file.
  2. The file will automatically be decompressed by Archive Utility into the same folder the compressed file is in.
  3. Access the extracted files by clicking the appropriate icons.


Alternatively, if the method above does not work, you can right-click on the .zip package, and select Open With > Archive Utility (default).
