ZIP is the archive format Windows natively supports.
So, many users compress files with ZIP archives.
Formats like 7z (7-ZIP) and RAR have superior compression ratios to ZIP archives.
Windows 11 doesnt include a built-in tool for creating any archives with formats other than ZIP.
Here are three methods for converting ZIPs to different archive formats in Windows 11.
It enables you to convert ZIPs to 21 different archive formats.
The 7-ZIP (7z) archive is one of the best for reducing file sizes.
Your converted archive will be in the same folder as its original ZIP.
Bring up the directory in which the ZIP is saved inside File Explorer.
Then youll find the converted archive there.
you’re able to also select to batch convert multiple archives at once in PeaZip.

Splitting an archive into two smaller ones, however, could be a solution in such a scenario.
you might split larger archives by selecting various options on theSplitdrop-down menu.
That drop-down menu includes 25 and 10-MB attachment options to split archives for email attachments.
Or you could selectCustom sizeto set a value to split the archive by.
TheAdvancedtab includes more options for you to configure the archive conversion.
There you’re free to select different compression methods for the archive conversion.
PeaZips conversion tool also has aSet passwordoption.
you’re able to select that option to apply a password to a converted archive.
ClickSet passwordon theConverttab, input an archive password, and selectOK.
poke the spanner icon in the conversion tool.
