Convert ZIP to IP

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

How to convert the file from ZIP to IP?

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

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

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