What is GZ file?

The GZ (Gnu Zipped Archive) file extension is used to store compressed files and archives. It is also known as the GNU Zip format, and is based on the DEFLATE compression algorithm. These files are often used for software applications, but can also be used to archive audio and video files or any other type of file. Compression of GZ files results in smaller file sizes, which is useful for storing digital content, such as music or other multimedia files or documents. [ ⏩ ] GZ file extension

How to convert the file from ISO to GZ?

To successfully convert the ISO file to GZ, 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.ISO). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case GZ (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 GZ).

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. ISO to GZ. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

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