Convert ACE to 7-ZIP

What is ACE file?

ACE (.ace) is a compressed archive file used, in particular, by WinAce. It is the most popular standard for file compression and one of the oldest. ACE files share several features with other compression programs such as WinZip (.zip) and WinRAR (.rar). An ACE file is usually structured like a self-expanding executable archive. This means that when the ACE file has been opened for the first time, the pre-compressed data inside will be uncompressed and stored in its own folder. [ ⏩ ] ACE file extension

How to convert the file from ACE to 7-ZIP?

To successfully convert the ACE file to 7-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.ACE).

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. ACE to 7-ZIP. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting ACE files to 7-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 7-ZIP, while before this step we had the ACE file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new 7-ZIP file, or not.
