Convert 002 to 7Z

Understanding 002 and 7z file formats

The 002 file format is typically a part of a split archive, often created by file compression tools to break down large files into smaller, more manageable parts. These files are usually part of a sequence, such as .001, .002, .003, and so on, and need to be combined to access the original content.

The 7z file format is a compressed archive format that uses the open-source LZMA compression algorithm. It is known for its high compression ratio and supports various compression, conversion, and encryption methods. The 7z format is widely used for reducing file sizes and bundling multiple files into a single archive.

Converting 002 to 7z

Converting a 002 file to a 7z file involves first extracting the contents of the split archive and then compressing them into a 7z archive. This process requires the complete set of split files (e.g., .001, .002, .003) to successfully extract the original data.

Best software for 002 to 7z conversion

One of the best software options for handling this conversion is 7-Zip. It is a free and open-source file archiver that can manage both the extraction of split archives and the creation of 7z files.

Steps to convert using 7-Zip

1. Ensure you have all parts of the split archive (e.g., .001, .002, .003).
2. Open 7-Zip and navigate to the directory containing the split files.
3. Select the first file in the sequence (e.g., .001).
4. Click on File → Extract to extract the contents of the split archive.
5. Once extracted, select the extracted files or folder.
6. Click on File → Add to archive.
7. Choose 7z as the archive format and configure any additional settings as needed.
8. Click OK to create the 7z archive.
