About PAR2 files
PAR2 files are a type of error-correction file used to repair corrupted data or replace missing files from a data set. They are commonly used to verify the integrity of downloads from the Internet, such as software, games, and other digital media. PAR2 files are created using the Parity Volume Set Specification (PVSS) and are usually accompanied by a PAR1 file. They are also known as Parity Volume Sets (PVSs).
PAR2 files can be converted to other file formats using various software such as Par2cmdline, Par2j, and Par2cmdline-MT. These tools are free and open-source, and can convert PAR2 files to formats such as RAR, ZIP, 7Z, TAR, and ISO. It is important to note that some of these tools may not be able to convert PAR2 files to all the formats listed above. Additionally, the conversion process may be slow and the output files may not be of the same quality as the original PAR2 files.
When converting PAR2 files, it is important to consider the size of the files and the amount of available disk space. Additionally, the conversion process may be slow and the output files may not be of the same quality as the original PAR2 files. Furthermore, PAR2 files may not be compatible with some operating systems or devices, and may require additional software or hardware to open or view them. For these reasons, it is often preferable to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert PAR2 files.
The PAR2 Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best PAR2 converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
