Convert a file to OZ

To convert other file formats to the "Source Code File" file type, you need software like Mozart Programming System or a similar tool.


About OZ files

The .oz file extension primarily contains source code written in the Oz multiparadigm programming language. A rare secondary use is as a proprietary compressed archive for the Opera Job Management system.

Oz source code is natively edited, compiled, and executed using the Mozart Programming System.

Working with .oz files presents several challenges. The Oz language is niche and heavily academic. Mainstream text editors and IDEs like Visual Studio Code lack built-in syntax highlighting or execution support for it. If the file belongs to the Opera Job Management system, it is an entirely closed, proprietary binary archive. Standard unzipping tools like 7-Zip will fail to extract its contents.

To share Oz code for review or documentation, you should convert the .oz file to TXT, HTML, or PDF. You will lose the ability to execute the script, but the logic and text formatting will become universally accessible on any device.

Proprietary compressed formats are notoriously difficult to open. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. convert.guru will inspect your .oz file to detect whether it contains readable text code or unsupported binary data.

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

Users also converted GPX, ECG and SCB files.
