Convert 7Z.002 to ZIP

Understanding 7z.002 and zip file formats

7z.002 is a part of a split archive created by the 7-Zip compression tool. When a large file or folder is compressed and split into multiple parts, each segment is given a sequential extension such as .7z.001, .7z.002, and so on. These files cannot be used individually; you need all parts to extract the original content.

ZIP is a widely used compressed archive format that stores one or more files in a single container, reducing file size and making distribution easier. ZIP files are supported by most operating systems and compression utilities.

How to convert 7z.002 to zip

Direct conversion from 7z.002 to ZIP is not possible because 7z.002 is only a fragment of a split archive. To convert, you must first reassemble and extract the complete 7z archive, then compress the extracted files into a ZIP archive.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Ensure you have all parts of the split 7z archive (e.g., .7z.001, .7z.002, .7z.003, etc.) in the same folder.
2. Download and install 7-Zip (free, open-source) from 7-zip.org.
3. Right-click on the .7z.001 file and select 7-Zip → Extract Here to extract the contents. 7-Zip will automatically use all parts (.7z.001, .7z.002, etc.).
4. After extraction, select the extracted files or folder, right-click, and choose 7-Zip → Add to archive....
5. In the dialog, set Archive format to zip and click OK to create your ZIP file.

Best software for the job

7-Zip is the recommended tool for both extracting split 7z archives and creating ZIP files. It is free, reliable, and supports a wide range of formats.

Summary

To convert a 7z.002 file to ZIP, you must first extract the complete 7z archive using all its parts, then compress the extracted files into a ZIP archive using 7-Zip or a similar tool.
