Extract text from IZArc archives (BZA)
To convert BZA archives to another format, you need IZArc or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "IZArc Compressed Archive" file type, you need software like IZArc or a similar tool.
A .BZA file is a proprietary compressed archive created by the IZArc file archiving utility. Users typically encounter these files when downloading compressed folders or receiving backups from users who prefer IZArc's custom compression algorithms.
Because it is a closed, proprietary format, .BZA files suffer from severe compatibility issues. Standard operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux cannot open them natively. Furthermore, major archiving tools like WinRAR or 7-Zip often fail to recognize them. To open the file, you must install the specific IZArc software, which makes sharing .BZA files highly impractical.
Converting .BZA to universal archive formats like ZIP, 7Z, or TAR is highly recommended. This ensures anyone can open the contents without installing niche software. Standard online converters frequently fail to process this file because the compression algorithm is not open-source and lacks documentation. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or extracting the contents may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BZA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted KISCHER_BZA, HAP, CRU and BOA files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our BZA converter.
