Apr 05, 2026A Mac Classic That Still Delivers
As a long-time Mac user, StuffIt has been my go-to for archives since the classic Mac OS days. It handles ZIP, RAR, and its own SIT formats seamlessly, making file sharing a breeze. The interface is clean and intuitive, and it's saved me a ton of disk space over the years. Definitely a reliable workhorse in my software toolkit.

Apr 05, 2026Still the Go-To Mac Compression Tool After All These Years
As a longtime Mac user, I've tried various compression tools, but StuffIt remains my favorite for its simplicity and robust format support. It handles ZIP, RAR, and its native .SIT format effortlessly, making file sharing and storage a breeze. The interface is intuitive, and it integrates seamlessly with Finder, saving me time and disk space daily. It's well worth the investment for anyone managing lots of files.

Apr 04, 2026Does the job but feels like a relic
It’s handy for opening all those old .SIT files I still run into, and the format support is solid. But the interface looks outdated, and compared to free tools like The Unarchiver, it’s hard to justify the price for basic tasks. It gets the work done, but without much polish or excitement.

Apr 04, 2026Still the File Compression Standard for Mac Users
As a longtime Mac user, I've tried various compression tools but keep coming back to StuffIt. It handles every format I encounter—ZIP, RAR, 7Z—and its own .SIT format still offers excellent compression for large media files. The interface is intuitive, and batch processing saves me time when organizing project folders. It's become an essential utility on my system.

Apr 02, 2026Frustratingly Outdated and Buggy
I've been using StuffIt on my Mac for years, but the latest versions have been a constant disappointment. It frequently crashes when creating archives or extracting larger files, especially with their proprietary .SIT format. For a paid software, it feels clunky and unreliable compared to modern free alternatives like Keka or The Unarchiver.

Apr 01, 2026A Mac User's Reliable Archiving Companion
StuffIt has been my go-to compression tool for years on my Mac. It handles every format I need—ZIP, RAR, 7Z, and of course its own .SIT archives—with perfect reliability. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to compress files for email or just to save space. For a longtime Mac user, it feels like an essential part of the toolkit.

Apr 01, 2026Still the Mac compression champion after all these years
As a long-time Mac user, I've tried many compression tools over the years, but StuffIt remains my go-to solution. I particularly appreciate the seamless integration with Finder via the contextual menu, making it incredibly quick to compress files for email or decompress archives I download. The broad format support means I never encounter a file I can't open, and the ability to create password-protected SIT archives adds a nice layer of security for sensitive documents. While there are free alternatives, the polish and reliability make it worth the investment for anyone who regularly works with compressed files.

Apr 01, 2026Frustrating and Outdated Archiving Tool
I wanted a simple tool to compress some old project files, but StuffIt made the process much harder than it needed to be. The interface feels like it hasn't been updated in a decade, and it crashed twice while trying to create a simple ZIP file. The UI is cluttered and unintuitive, and I encountered multiple errors when trying to decompress a RAR file that 7-Zip handled without a problem. There's no reason to use this when there are so many free, lightweight alternatives that run faster and more reliably. The only reason it's installed was because it was a default application, but I'm uninstalling it immediately.

Mar 30, 2026Solid Compression, but Starting to Show Its Age
StuffIt has saved me countless times when dealing with older archives, especially .SIT files, and its format support is fantastic. However, it feels a bit bloated and slow compared to modern, simpler tools, and the interface hasn't really kept up with macOS updates. For basic zipping, the built-in macOS utility is often sufficient, but I keep it around as a specialized tool for legacy formats.
