Questions
About converting XZ to ZIP.
What will the ZIP contain?
One file: the content of your XZ, named like your file without the .xz ending. If the XZ holds a TAR archive, the ZIP contains all files from that archive instead.
How large can the archive be?
Unpacked, the content can be up to 4 GB in at most 20,000 files. Large archives that would unpack to more than 250 times their own size are stopped for safety.
Can I open the ZIP on Windows and Mac?
Yes. Windows File Explorer and macOS Finder open ZIP files without extra software, and so does the Files app on iPhone.
Is the XZ to ZIP converter free?
Yes. You can convert up to 50 files a day for free without creating an account.
What happens to my files after the conversion?
Your files are processed on servers in the EU and deleted automatically after 24 hours.
