Convert R13 to 005

Understanding r13 and 005 file formats

R13 files are typically associated with WinRAR split archive volumes. When a large file is compressed and split into multiple parts using WinRAR, the parts are named sequentially as .r00, .r01, ..., .r13, and so on. These files are not standalone archives but segments of a larger compressed file set.

005 files are also split archive parts, commonly created by archiving tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR. The .005 extension indicates the fifth segment in a multi-part archive (e.g., .001, .002, ..., .005). Like .r13, a .005 file is not a complete archive on its own.

How to convert r13 to 005

Since both .r13 and .005 are split archive parts, direct conversion is not typical. Instead, you can repackage the entire archive into a new split archive with the desired extension using an archiving tool. This involves extracting the original archive and then re-archiving it with a new split format.

Recommended software for conversion

• WinRAR: Best for handling .r13 files and creating new split archives.
• 7-Zip: Free and open-source, supports both extracting and creating split archives with .001, .002, ..., .005 extensions.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Ensure you have all parts of the original .r00–.r13 archive in the same folder.
2. Use WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the complete archive:
   • Right-click the .r00 or .r13 file and select Extract Here or Extract to [folder].
3. After extraction, select the extracted files and re-archive them:
   • With 7-Zip: Right-click the files, choose 7-Zip → Add to archive....
   • Set Archive format to 7z or zip.
   • In Split to volumes, bytes, enter a size (e.g., 100M for 100 MB parts).
   • Click OK to create new split files (.001, .002, ..., .005).
4. Rename the fifth part from .005 if needed, or adjust split size to ensure a .005 file is created.

Summary

Direct conversion from .r13 to .005 is not possible, as both are split archive segments. Instead, extract the original archive and re-archive it using 7-Zip or WinRAR to create new split files with the .005 extension.
