About PAZ files
The .PAZ file format serves highly specialized purposes, primarily functioning as a Millewin Patient Data Archive used by Dedalus Millewin clinical software, or as a compressed game asset archive in Pearl Abyss's MMORPG Black Desert Online. It is also utilized by Horiba ABX Pentra hematology analyzers and the Kirikiri2 visual novel engine.
The primary disadvantage of the .PAZ format is its proprietary, closed-ecosystem nature. Medical .PAZ files require an active installation of specific clinical software to read patient histories, making them inaccessible to web browsers or standard document readers. Game .PAZ archives are custom-packed to prevent tampering, meaning standard extraction utilities like 7-Zip cannot open them without specialized third-party unpackers.
Because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters fail to process it. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. For medical files, users typically need to export data to PDF or CSV natively within Millewin. Game modders usually want to extract PNG textures or audio files. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as the standard ZIP compression utilized by Horiba medical analyzers - viewing or conversion may still be seamlessly possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PAZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The PAZ 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 PAZ converter.
