The 7Z file extension is a compressed archive format developed by Igor Pavlov. It can store multiple files into a compressed container with no loss of data, making it an efficient and popular way to store large amounts of data. The 7Z format was initially supported by 7-Zip, but over time, other software programs and compression programs have adopted the 7Z format such as PeaZip, WinRAR, WinZip, and others.

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. BZIP2 to 7Z. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting BZIP2 files to 7Z 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 7Z, while before this step we had the BZIP2 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new 7Z file, or not.
