What is a 7Z file?
7Z – 7-Zip archive. 7Z is the native format of the open-source 7-Zip. It packs files tighter than ZIP, mostly thanks to LZMA2 compression, and supports AES-256 encryption of both contents and file names.

ZIP – ZIP archive. ZIP is the most widely supported archive format: every operating system opens it without extra software. It compresses each file separately, usually with Deflate, so single files can be pulled out quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Is converting 7Z to ZIP free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my 7Z files uploaded anywhere?
Files up to 200 MB never leave your device: ConvertKitty runs 7-Zip inside your browser. Only larger files, or formats your browser cannot handle, are sent to our server, over an encrypted connection, and deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The button says "Upload and convert" whenever that happens.
Can I convert a password-protected 7Z file?
Yes. Click Options next to the file and enter its password. The ZIP you get back is not password-protected.
How large can the 7Z file be?
Files up to 200 MB are converted right in your browser. Larger files, up to 1 GB, are converted on our server.
Will the folders inside my 7Z be kept?
Yes. The ZIP has the same folders and file names as the 7Z. Only links and special files are left out, and the page tells you if it did that.
Can I convert several 7Z files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
