What is 002 file?
The 002 file extension is a compressed file from a multi-volume archive. This type of file often contains multiple files or folders that have been compressed into one single file format for simple storage and retrieval. They are commonly used for email attachments, archives, and backing up large amounts of data. To open the 002 file type, any WinZip compatible archive utility will do the trick. Some specific archive programs like 7-Zip, WinRAR, or PeaZip support it. [ ⏩ ] 002 file extension
What is ZIP file?
A ZIP (Zipped File) file is a type of compressed file format originating from the PKWARE Inc. proprietary software. This type of file integrates data compression, email sharing, and archiving into one convenient format. It utilizes lossless data compression technology, meaning the contents of these files are reduced in size with no loss in quality. This makes the process of sharing large volumes of information much easier. ZIP archives are identified with the .zip file extension. [ ⏩ ] ZIP file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from 002 to ZIP?
To successfully convert the 002 file to ZIP, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.002). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case ZIP (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than ZIP).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. 002 to ZIP. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting 002 files to ZIP files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension ZIP, while before this step we had the 002 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new ZIP file, or not.
