How It Works

How to Convert APFS to ZIP

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your APFS file or drag & drop it.

Locate your APFS file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Select ZIP as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.

Choose ZIP based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download the converted ZIP file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your ZIP file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

Q: Can I convert a file that’s been archived multiple times?

A: Yes! Even if your file has been archived multiple times (nested archives), we can handle the conversion. Just make sure to extract the final archive before uploading.

Q: Do you offer cloud storage for my converted archives?

A: We don’t store your converted archives after they’ve been processed, but you can always download them straight to your device or upload them to your preferred cloud storage service.

Q: Can I convert a password-protected archive file?

A: Yes, but you'll need to provide the password for us to access and convert the file. If it's protected, we won't be able to process it unless the password is provided.

Q: Can I convert files inside a password-protected archive?

A: We currently can’t handle password-protected archives directly. You’ll need to extract the files first, then upload the unprotected contents for conversion.

Q: What should I do if I can’t find the archive format I need?

A: If you're unable to find your desired format, feel free to contact our support team. We’re always working to improve and add new formats to our platform, so we'll help you however we can.

Q: Why are my converted archive files larger than expected?

A: Sometimes, archive formats like ZIP may not compress as much as other formats like 7z. If you notice a larger size, it’s likely due to the compression method used in the original archive.

What is APFS (Apple File System)?

APFS (Apple File System) is a proprietary file system developed by Apple for macOS, iOS, and other Apple devices. It was introduced in 2017 as a replacement for the HFS+ file system.

APFS is optimized for solid-state drives (SSDs) and flash storage, offering improved performance, security, and reliability. It includes features like strong encryption, space sharing, and snapshots.

How to open APFS?

APFS file systems are primarily used in Apple devices, so they can be accessed natively through macOS and iOS devices.

To open or read APFS-formatted drives on a Mac, simply connect the drive to the Mac, and it will be automatically mounted by macOS. For non-Apple devices, third-party software like Paragon APFS for Windows can be used to access APFS-formatted drives.

APFS is Developed by: Apple Inc.

APFS was Released on: 2017

How to convert APFS?

Converting an APFS-formatted drive to another file system requires erasing the drive and reformatting it with a different file system (e.g., HFS+, exFAT, or NTFS). This can be done using the Disk Utility tool on macOS.

Note that converting the file system will erase all data on the drive, so it’s important to back up your data before reformatting.

What is ZIP (Compressed Archive File)?

ZIP is a popular archive file format that supports lossless data compression. It was introduced in 1989 and has since become one of the most widely used formats for compressing and bundling multiple files and folders into a single file.

ZIP files are commonly used for efficient storage, file sharing, and reducing file sizes for faster uploads and downloads. They support various compression methods and can also include password protection for added security.

How to open ZIP?

ZIP files can be opened using built-in tools in modern operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux. Simply double-click the ZIP file to view its contents.

For advanced features, use third-party tools like WinRAR, 7-Zip, or WinZip. On mobile devices, apps like ZArchiver (Android) or iZip (iOS) can open ZIP files.

How to create or convert ZIP?

To create a ZIP file, select the files or folders you want to compress, right-click, and choose 'Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder' (on Windows) or 'Compress' (on macOS).

To convert other archive formats (e.g., RAR, TAR) to ZIP, use tools like 7-Zip, WinRAR, or online converters. Upload the archive file, select ZIP as the output format, and start the conversion process.
