Convert Archive Files Effortlessly

• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or macOS 11 or later
• 4GB RAM minimum (8GB recommended for large or batch jobs)
• Disk space:
  • ~500MB for application installation
  • Sufficient temporary space for file conversion (at least as much as your largest archive size, as files need to be extracted before being recompressed)

No! Unlike our web version which has a 2GB limit, the desktop app can handle files of any size. The only limitation is your computer's available memory and storage space.

Internet is only needed for:

• Initial download and installation
• License verification (once on installation)
• Checking for updates

All file processing is done locally on your computer - no files are uploaded to the internet.

This update makes ezyZip Archive Converter one of the most comprehensive archive tools available, now supporting 165+ formats.

Yes. Version 2026.06.17 adds disk-image output formats: QCOW2 (QEMU/KVM), VMDK (VMware), VHD and VHDX (Hyper-V), VDI (VirtualBox), and raw IMG. You can repackage content into the format your hypervisor expects.

Yes. The converter can now produce VPK (Valve / Source), FPX, PAK, and BMZ game archives, in addition to reading them.

Yes. RAR support has been improved, with full RAR5, solid-archive, and password / header-encrypted RAR support, including large multi-gigabyte archives.

The app prompts you for the password, and asks again if it is mistyped. In multi-file mode, each protected archive is prompted in turn, so one locked file will not block the rest of the batch.

Once the app is installed, you can continue using that version indefinitely - even if your subscription expires. No features will be disabled or locked.

However, you'll need an active subscription to:

• Download and install newer versions of the app
