How do I convert an XZ archive to ZOO format?

Upload the .xz file to the converter. The tool decompresses the LZMA2 stream, and if the .xz contains a .tar archive, it extracts the individual files and directories. It then repackages them into a single .zoo archive. You can download the .zoo file immediately. Batch conversion lets you process multiple .xz files in one go.

Why should I convert XZ to ZOO instead of keeping XZ?

XZ provides superior compression, but ZOO is supported by legacy archivers on Unix, Windows, and embedded systems that lack XZ support. Converting ensures compatibility with older data recovery tools and archival databases. Be aware that ZOO's simpler compression (LZW/LZ77) yields a larger archive than the original XZ.

What happens to file metadata and permissions during XZ-to-ZOO conversion?

The content, directory structure, POSIX permissions, and modification times are preserved. XZ-specific metadata like CRC64 checksums and LZMA2 compression settings are discarded, as ZOO uses its own 32-bit CRC and compression settings. Symlinks and hard links are maintained when the ZOO implementation supports them; otherwise, they are converted to regular files.
