Convert 7Z.023 to 002

Understanding 7z.023 and 002 file formats

The 7z.023 file format is a part of a multi-volume archive created by the 7-Zip compression software. When a large file is compressed using 7-Zip, it can be split into multiple parts, each with a sequential extension like .001, .002, .023, etc. These files need to be combined to extract the original content.

The 002 file format is similar in that it is also a part of a split archive. However, it is not specific to 7-Zip and can be used by other archiving tools as well. The .002 file is typically the second part of a multi-volume archive.

Converting 7z.023 to 002

Converting a 7z.023 file to a 002 file is not a straightforward conversion process. Instead, it involves extracting the contents of the 7z.023 file along with its preceding parts and then recompressing them into a new multi-volume archive if needed.

Best software for handling 7z.023 and 002 files

The best software for managing these types of files is 7-Zip. It is a free and open-source file archiver that can handle 7z files and other archive formats. To extract a multi-volume archive, ensure all parts are in the same directory, then right-click on the first part (e.g., .001) and select 7-Zip → Extract Here.

For recompressing into a new multi-volume archive, you can use 7-Zip by selecting the files you want to compress, right-clicking, and choosing 7-Zip → Add to archive. In the dialog, set the Split to volumes, bytes option to your desired size.
