What you need to know
Archive formats differ in compression, encryption, metadata and compatibility. Archiwum first detects the format from its signature and only then selects a local engine.
Safe workflow
- Keep the original file unchanged.
- Inspect the entry list and warnings.
- Select only the files you need.
- Verify the downloaded result or checksum.

Common mistake
Changing an extension does not convert file contents. Archive conversion requires extraction and creation of a new archive.
