- StuffIt Expander is a proprietary, freeware, closed source, decompression software utility developed by Allume Systems (a subsidiary of Smith Micro Software formerly known as Aladdin Systems). It runs on the classic Mac OS, macOS, and Microsoft Windows. Prior to 2011, a Linux version had also been available for download. The latest version for each Mac platform is as follows:
* 16.2 for OS X 10.11+ (as of December 2020);
* 16.0.5 for Mac OS X 10.8+;
* 15.0.7 (2011) for Mac OS X 10.6.8+;
* 15.0.4 (2011) for Mac OS X 10.5+;
* 14.0.1 (2010) for Mac OS X 10.4+;
* 10.0.2 for Mac OS X 10.3+;
* 8.0.2 for Mac OS X 10.0+;
* 7.0.3 for Mac OS 8.6+;
* 6.0.1 for Mac OS 8.1+ (PowerPC only);
* 5.5.1 for System 7.1+ (68020 and up, PowerPC);
* 4.5 for System 6+ (compatible with all 68k processors). StuffIt has been a target of criticism and dissatisfaction from Mac users in the past as the file format changes frequently, notably during the introduction of StuffIt version 5.0. Expander 5.0 contained many bugs, and its file format was not readable by the earlier version 4.5, leaving Mac users of the time without a viable compression utility. The latest stand-alone version for Windows is 2011 (15.0). Unlike the version before it (12.0), which was only able to decompress the newer .sitx (and ZIP) archives, version 2009 claims to be able to decompress over 30 formats, some listed below. The executables require both, the .NET v2.0 framework and MSVC 2008 (9.0) runtimes. The previous stand-alone version able to decompress .sit and other classic Mac OS-specific archives was 7.02, distributed with StuffIt v7.0.x for Windows. From versions 7.5.x to 11 the Expander capabilities were actually performed by the StuffIt Standard Edition, that allowed decompression even after the end of the trial period. To start StuffIt in Expander mode the following command line switches were used: -expand -uiexpander. Note that the registration reminder dialogue box is not shown in this case. With older versions of StuffIt Expander on the classic Mac OS platform, such as StuffIt Expander 3.5, it was possible to enhance the capabilities of StuffIt Expander and to add support for decompressing additional archive formats by means of the shareware DropStuff with Expander Enhancer software from Aladdin Systems. There is also a command line DOS application called UNSTUFF v1.1 that allows decompression of .sit files. StuffIt Expander 2009 decompresses files in the following formats:
* 7-Zip (.7z, .cb7)
* AppleSingle (.as)
* Arc (.arc)
* ARJ (.arj)
* BinHex (.hqx), all versions
* BTOA (.b2a, .btoa)
* bzip2 (.bzip, .bzip2, .bz, .bz2, .tbz, .tbz2, .tar.bz, .tar.bz2)
* CAB (.cab)
* Compact Pro (.cpt)
* gzip (.gz, .tgz)
* LHA (.lha, .lzh)
* LZMA (.lzma, .tlzma, .tar.lzma)
* MacBinary (.bin, .macbin), all versions
* MIME/Base 64 (.mime)
* (.pF), Aladdin's encryption file format
* RAR (.rar, .rNN, .cbr, .partNN.rar), including segmented
* StuffIt compression format used in versions prior 5.x
* StuffIt (.sit, .sitx, .sit.N, .partNN.sitx, .sea, .exe) v1.5.1 to 8.0.x, including encrypted, segmented and self-extracting archive (Classic Mac OS file type code 'SIT!')
* tar (.tar, .gtar, .gnutar, .ustar, .cbt)
* Unix Compress (.Z, .z, .taz)
* UU (.uu, .uue, .enc), PC/Unix 8 bit to 7 bit encoding similar to BinHex (.hqx)
* yEncode (.ync, .y)
* ZIP (.zip, .zNN, .cbz, .exe), including encrypted, Zip64, segmented and self-extracting archive (en)

StuffIt Expander est gratuit et son éditeur rend disponible des fichiers exécutables pour plates-formes Mac OS X et Microsoft Windows ; par le passé des éditions Mac OS Classic et Linux x86 ont été proposées au téléchargement.

- StuffIt Expander är ett komprimeringsprogram för Macintosh. Expander var länge det alltigenom dominerande programmet för att öppna kompimerade filer (Expander kunde inte packa filer) på Macintosh, och StuffIt-formatet det populäraste . Förutom sitt eget format packar Expander upp de flesta vanligt förekommande format (se lista nedan). I och med att Mac OS infördes minskade behovet av StuffIts filöverföringsmetoder, samtidigt som operativsystemet fick inbyggt stöd för ZIP-formatet. Detta har lett till minskat behov av Expander, men programmet är ännu populärt, och följer med i alla Mac OS-installationer. (sv)
