7Z to ZIP

The .7z that needs 7-Zip installed, as a ZIP that needs nothing.

More free conversions, where you upload. The Fylane extension does the same work inside any upload form, on its own free share every day.About the extension

How to convert 7Z to ZIP

  1. Drop the file.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Press Convert and download.

What happens to your file

7-Zip unpacks the archive on Fylane’s servers into a scratch folder — a thousand files and 64 MB unpacked at most — and every file is written into a ZIP under its own path, so folders come through as folders. The ZIP opens on every Mac, Windows PC and phone without extra software. Deleted on schedule.

A password-protected archive is refused by name.

Questions

Will the ZIP be bigger?

Usually a little — 7z compresses harder than ZIP. The trade is that everything opens the ZIP.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "archive.convert",
    "options": {
      "to": "zip"
    }
  }'

The same operation, archive.convert — Any archive 7-Zip reads — 7z, RAR, tar, gzip — rewritten as a ZIP, names and paths kept; a thousand files and 64 MB unpacked at most. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
