Stuffit Expander is a utility that will decode and extract compressed Macintosh files downloaded from the Internet. Stuffit Expander is included with the Advantage Internet software.

Unlike Windows downloads, which must be decompressed, Macintosh downloads must be decompressed and decoded before they can be used. Fortunately, Stuffit Expander combines both these steps.

Macintosh downloadable files are encoded using either the BinHex or Macbinary format. BinHex files have the extension .hqx, and Macbinary files have the extension .bin. Stuffit Expander can decode both kinds of files.
