Split Multi-volume ZIP Compressed File Archive (part 3) | Corel | Compressed Files |
The Z02 (WinZip Second Split Zip File) is a file extension typically used for archives created with Winzip compression and encoding software. The archives are constructed according to the popular zip standard format, which enables the user to reduce the size of files, saving precious memory space on their computer. It also helps in transporting large files over the internet quickly and efficiently. The Z02 file extension indicates that the archive consists of multiple files that have been split into multiple files. For example, when you receive a very large file via email as a Z02 file, when you unzip it, you will usually find many additional Z0x files inside with Z01, Z02, etc. extensions. Those are parts of a single original archive file, usually resized into multiple parts for easier transfer via email.
Similar file extensions include .z01, .z03, .zipx, .zip, .rar and .7z.
Usability Of Z02 Files
The WinZip Second Split Zip File Extension is important in business as well as for personal use when dealing with large amounts of data that can be quickly compressed into smaller archives which are quite easy to email or transfer via the internet. It is also widely used for backups or archiving whole directories with a single command in Winzip. Often users don’t even need any additional software such as archiving programs like WinRAR as Winzip is quite capable of unzipping all types of zipped files on its own.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .Z02) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .Z02 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .Z02 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .Z02 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .Z02 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .Z02 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .Z02 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .Z02 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .Z02 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .Z02 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
