To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Map Image File" file type, you need software like OziExplorer or a similar tool.
About OZF2 files
The .OZF2 file is a proprietary raster map image format used exclusively by OziExplorer GPS mapping software. It stores map graphics using a specialized tiled structure that allows older hardware to page small sections of the map into memory without loading the entire file. You can open these files using OziExplorer on a PC or mobile device. Users frequently need to convert .OZF2 files because the format is highly restrictive and proprietary. It cannot be opened by standard image viewers, web browsers, or most modern GIS applications like QGIS. Furthermore, using these files requires purchasing specific software, locking your geospatial data into a single ecosystem. The best target formats for conversion are TIFF (GeoTIFF), PNG, or JPG to regain interoperability. Note that spatial calibration data is usually stored in an external MAP file, which must be retained during conversion to preserve GPS coordinates. Standard online converters fail to process .OZF2 because it uses a closed, undocumented compression scheme. Even if it is a closed, proprietary format, our analysis detects supported underlying or embedded data, meaning viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your OZF2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The OZF2 Converter Story
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 OZF2 converter.
