Convert 030 to 002

Understanding 030 and 002 file formats

030 and 002 files are not standard file formats but rather parts of a split archive. When large files are divided into smaller segments for easier distribution or storage, each segment is given a sequential extension such as .001, .002, .003, and so on. The .030 file is simply the 30th part of such a split archive, while the .002 file is the second part. These files are not meant to be converted from one to another, but rather to be joined together to reconstruct the original file.

How to combine split files (030, 002, etc.)

To work with these files, you need to join all parts of the split archive (including .001, .002, .003, ..., .030) using a file joining tool. The process is not a conversion but a reassembly of the original file.

Best software for joining split files

• HJSplit (Windows, Mac, Linux): A free and popular tool for joining split files. Open HJSplit, select Join, choose the .001 file, and the program will automatically join all parts in sequence.
• 7-Zip (Windows): If the split files are part of a compressed archive (e.g., .zip.001, .zip.002), right-click the .001 file and select 7-Zip → Extract Here. 7-Zip will process all parts and extract the original file.
• cat command (Linux, macOS): Use the terminal command cat file.001 file.002 ... file.030 > combined_file to merge the parts.

Important notes

• You cannot convert a .030 file directly to a .002 file. Both are required parts of the same split archive.
• Always ensure you have all parts of the split archive before attempting to join them.
• After joining, you will obtain the original file (e.g., a video, archive, or document).
