Convert ZIP to ISO

Understanding ZIP and ISO file formats

ZIP is a widely-used file format for compressing and archiving multiple files into a single file, reducing storage space and making it easier to transfer. It supports lossless data compression, ensuring that the original data can be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data.

ISO is a file format that represents an exact copy of an entire optical disc, such as a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray. It is often used for distributing large software packages, operating systems, or for backing up discs. An ISO file contains all the data of the original disc, including the file system information.

Converting ZIP to ISO

Converting a ZIP file to an ISO file involves extracting the contents of the ZIP archive and then creating an ISO image from those files. This process is useful when you need to create a disc image from compressed files.
