Welcome to StuffIt™ 8.0.1

StuffIt 8.0.1 is a fully featured compression program that offers many unique and exciting features that are designed to make it easy for you to create and work with your archives. In addition to creating zip archives, StuffIt allows you to create and expand archives in StuffIt X format, a special compression method designed to compress large files up to 50% smaller than zip. StuffIt will also expand a wide variety of archive formats, including tar, RAR, LHA, and uucode. StuffIt Deluxe is the best way to transfer files on the Internet.

Introducing StuffIt X!

StuffIt X is a revolutionary new archive file format powered by Aladdin’s exclusive ATOM™ compression technology.  The new StuffIt X file format integrates compression with security and safety options to meet the requirements of business and today's digital lifestyle.

Whether you’re sending critical documents to business partners, or vacation pictures to your family, StuffIt X is your best solution. In addition to making the smallest possible archives, StuffIt X offers you strong 512bit encryption to protect your files should they fall into the wrong hands, and also features available error correction that helps to prevent data loss in the event that your archives become corrupt as a result of transfer errors or bad media.

Top Reasons to Switch to StuffIt X

• Strong Encryption - Protect your files from prying eyes with super-strong RC4 512bit encryption.

• Best Compression - StuffIt X provides our best ever compression.

• Redundancy - Redundancy works like an insurance policy for your files. If an archive with redundancy becomes corrupted, StuffIt can use the redundancy information to repair and restore its contents.

If you're using StuffIt for the first time, we'd recommend that you view the "Getting Started" topic before you begin.
