opening a rar file on mac

Someone sent me a rar archive of photos and my Mac says it can't open it. Archive Utility handles zips fine. Is there a free app people trust for rar files on macOS?

macos can't open them on its own. the unarchiver is free in the app store and handles rar, then it's just double click. keka is the other common one. if it's a multi part rar, keep all the parts in the same folder and open the first one.
