To convert other file formats to the "Desktop Theme Archive" file type, you need software like Aston Shell or a similar tool.

About ATZ files

The .atz extension is a container format used in three distinct, incompatible ecosystems: customizable desktop themes for Aston Shell, game data packages for Dragon Raja, and architectural exchange files for Allplan.

For Aston Shell and ASUS users, an .atz file is technically a ZIP archive containing images, XML configs, and skins. The primary problem is the operating system treating it as an unknown file type, preventing access to the assets inside. Similarly, Allplan uses this format to package CAD project data, which locks non-users out of viewing the engineering schematics without expensive proprietary software. Dragon Raja files are game archives that are often encrypted or strictly packed, making asset extraction difficult without specific unpacking tools.

Recommended Conversion Targets:

For Themes (Aston/ASUS): Rename the extension from .atz to zip. This allows you to extract contents using standard tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR. Once extracted, you can convert the inner images to JPG or PNG.
For CAD (Allplan): Convert to PDF for universal viewing or DWG for editing in AutoCAD. This typically requires the original Allplan Exchange interface.
For Game Data: Conversion is generally not possible for functionality, but assets can sometimes be "ripped" to standard audio/image formats for personal use.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ATZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
