What is ZIPX file?
ZIPX is a file format .zipx which was introduced by WinZip, a popular compression and archiving utility supported on Windows, macOS and Linux. It is the successor to the standard .zip format and offers improved support for a number of features. The ZIPX format was created for files which cannot be stored efficiently with the standard zip format. [ ⏩ ] ZIPX file extension
What is 7Z file?
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.

How to convert the file from ZIPX to 7Z?
To successfully convert the ZIPX file to 7Z, 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.ZIPX). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case 7Z (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 7Z).
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. ZIPX to 7Z. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting ZIPX 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 ZIPX 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.
