Batch Convert Archive Format

Use this to convert many existing archive files with various different formats into a single archive format which you choose. Choose Batch Convert from the Tools menu, then follow the steps below:

1. Select the existing archive files which you would like to convert. Click the Add button to choose the archive files. You can repeat this as many times as necessary to add as many files as you want. To remove any file from the list, select it, then click the Remove button. Click the Next button to proceed.

2. Select the output folder where you want to place the converted archive files. If you choose Use the same folder as the original file, the converted archive files will be placed in the same folder as the original file. If you want all the converted archive files to be placed in a single folder regardless of where the original files were located, choose Folder, then enter the full path to that folder. If the path you entered does not already exist, PicoZip will automatically create it for you. Click the Next button to proceed.

3. Now, choose the archive format that you would like all the archive files you selected in Step 1 to be converted to. You can also set the following options: Delete original file after creating archive - If you check this option, PicoZip will automatically delete the original archive files selected in Step 1 after converting it. Overwrite files without prompting - If you check this option, PicoZip will overwrite any existing archive file with the same name without prompting you. Click the Next button to proceed.

4. You will be shown the progress window which shows the current status of this batch operation. If you want to cancel this batch operation, click the Cancel button. Note that canceling a batch operation may take a while since PicoZip will complete its current task before stopping. All files up to the point you click Cancel would have been processed completely.

5. Once the batch operation is completed, you will be shown the results screen. You can click on the Copy to Clipboard button to copy the results to Windows clipboard, or click the Save to File button to save the results to a text file. Click the Close button to exit.

If you only want to convert a single archive, read this instead.
