How to Combine Multiple Mac Files Into One With StuffIt

Rather than compressing individual files, you can compress a batch of files into one file, called an archive, with StuffIt. This saves bundles of room on your hard drive.

Instructions

    • 1

      Launch StuffIt.

    • 2

      Select the files you want compressed into an archive as a batch. Usually, you do this by clicking on each file name while you hold down the Shift key. Then you add them to the file list in the window provided.

    • 3

      Select Save. StuffIt Deluxe or Compact Pro does the rest.

Tips & Warnings

  • Decompressing the archive - usually by double-clicking - returns the combined files to discrete files.

  • Compressed files cannot be used by an application until they are decompressed. However, you can set StuffIt to do this automatically.
