Batch Extraction

How to extract multiple archives simultaneously using Extractor for Mac

Extracting Multiple Archives at Once

You can extract multiple archives at the same time with Extractor:

  1. Select several archive files in Finder.
  2. Drag them all onto the Extractor window at once.
  3. Extractor queues and processes them concurrently, handling up to 5 simultaneous extractions.

Monitoring Progress

Each file shows its own progress indicator, so you can monitor the status of every archive in the batch. There is no need to wait for one extraction to finish before starting the next.

Tips for Large Batches

  • Extractor processes up to 5 archives simultaneously to save time.
  • Each extraction reports its status independently, so you can see at a glance which files are still in progress and which are complete.
  • Completion actions such as moving archives to Trash or showing notifications apply to each extraction individually as it finishes.
