Extract text from Trust backup archives (ZAC)
To convert ZAC Backups to another format, you need Zander FoundationPlus or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "Trust Administration Archive" file type, you need software like Zander FoundationPlus or a similar tool.
The .zac file extension is primarily associated with Zander FoundationPlus, a specialized trust management and fiduciary accounting platform. These files serve as compressed backup archives, encapsulating critical financial data, client ledgers, and tax history into a single package.
Users typically encounter .zac files when attempting to restore historical data or migrate from legacy Zander systems to modern platforms. A common friction point is the file's proprietary appearance; without access to the original Zander FoundationPlus software (which may require an expensive or discontinued license), the data seems locked away.
However, technical analysis reveals that .zac files often utilize standard ZIP compression internally. This means the most effective "conversion" method is often a simple manual fix: renaming the file extension to zip allows users to extract the contents - usually standard CSV, XML, or PDF files - using tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR. For long-term archiving or presentation, these extracted components can then be individually converted to PDF/A or Excel (XLSX) formats.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ZAC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ZACS, ZIP, WDK and ZAR files.
If you want to convert ZAC file to ZAR, ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA, CAB, ACE or ARJ, you can use Zander FoundationPlus or similar software from the "Trust Management Backup" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

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 ZAC converter.
