Ringo Starfield January 22, 2024 No Comments

Instagram Reels are a feature that was added to Instagram all the way back in 2020. By using Reels, you can record a short video (up to fifteen seconds long), edit it heavily, and share it with your followers. Though it doesn’t sound all that interesting, the wide variety of editing options made Reels popular and fun. You can add many audio and video effects to your Reels, as well as group them together into series. As this feature has been around for years, Instagram users have created many interesting Reels, but there’s no official way to download them from the platform (even if you’re the author). Many websites and a few programs were created to provide an unofficial solution, however. In this article, we will tell you about the best ways to download Instagram Reels on Mac.

How to download TikTok video on Mac

Ringo Starfield January 16, 2024 No Comments

TikTok is the newest sensation in the video hosting business. Its short and vertical format quickly became popular on smartphones, and motivated even giants like YouTube to implement their own version of it. Certainly, most of TikTok’s content is not worth downloading, as it primarily hosts videos less than a minute long. But the platform actually allows videos as long as ten minutes. Among this library of longer content are music clips, educational videos, and other things you might want to save on your hard drive. And, of course, some of the shorter clips might be interesting enough to download as well. Although TikTok has a downloading feature included in the app, this option adds a watermark, which makes the video hard to watch. However, there are unofficial websites and programs that can be used to download TikTok video on Mac without watermark. There are many of them, but only the best ones are listed in the guide below.

How to play DirectX 12 games on Mac

Ringo Starfield December 13, 2023 No Comments

DirectX is a multimedia API developed by Microsoft for their operating system, Windows. In simpler terms, DirectX is a technology that makes it easier for the developers to create games with complex 3D graphics (among other things). Generally speaking, newer versions of DirectX are better than older ones in every aspect; they offer better performance and make games look prettier. So it should come as no surprise that many video game developers are ditching support for DirectX 11 in favor of DirectX 12. However, this development was problematic for one small section of the gaming world: Mac gamers.

Best XZ to ZIP converter for Mac

Ringo Starfield September 7, 2023 No Comments

XZ is a lossless data compression algorithm that is sometimes used in the Linux world. XZ archives are limited to containing just one file; more often than not, TAR algorithm is used to bypass this limitation, creating TAR.XZ archives. Actual XZ archives are uncommon due to the aforementioned limitation, but they do exist. Still, most people prefer to use archive formats that can store multiple files, such as ZIP. There are many ways to convert your XZ files to ZIP, but the easiest one is to use a converter program or a website. Unfortunately, this answer doesn’t narrow things down all that much, since many such converters exist. So, which one should you use? What is the best XZ to ZIP converter for Mac? You can find out the answer by reading this short article.

Best BZ to ZIP converter for Mac

Ringo Starfield August 28, 2023 No Comments

Files with BZ extension are archive file compressed using BZIP algorithm. They’re fairly common on UNIX-based systems, most notably Linux. BZ has a serious limitation: it can only be used to compress a single file. To compress multiple files, it must be used in a conjunction with another algorithm, such as TAR. BZ achieves better compression rates than ZIP, however, compressing and extracting BZ archives takes a very long time. As such, it remains largely unpopular even among Linux users. Since not many people use BZ file format, most programs will not recognize BZ archives either. Thus, if you have any files compressed with this algorithm, you should consider converting them into a different file format. ZIP, being the most popular archive format out there, should be the optimal choice. There are multiple ways to convert BZ to ZIP on Mac, but the simplest option is to use a converter program. Of course, these programs are not created equal; some are better than the others. So what is the best BZ to ZIP converter for Mac? Find out by reading this article.

How to convert TAZ to ZIP on Mac

Ringo Starfield August 28, 2023 No Comments

TAZ is a file compression format that combines two algorithms, TAR and Z. TAR is used to combine multiple files into one, while Z is used to compress them. It is primarily used on Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems, and is relatively unpopular. Files that have TAR.Z and TZ file extensions are identical to TAZ files in all aspects; these three extensions all refer to the same file format. Since TAZ is not a popular format, not many programs support it. Therefore, you might want to convert your TAZ files to another file format; ZIP will likely be the best choice. But how do you convert TAZ to ZIP on Mac? The process is actually very easy; read our guide to learn more.
