Opening an NZ File
The NZ file type is primarily associated with NanoZip.
What is an NZ file
NZ files mostly belong to NanoZip by Sami Runsas. NZ file format is the shortened name for the NanoZip file extension. It is a compressed and archived file format developed by NanoZip. It features lossless data compression.
- NanoZip tool was developed as a part of a project, with the aim of obtaining the best compression ratio possible without heeding to the time consumed. A combination of several compression algorithms in unison with a single archiver program has been used to achieve this objective. While most compressed file formats use block-based parallel compression algorithms, NZ file format experiments with a fine-granular parallel compression algorithm. NZ files exhibit the best compression ratios on textual data. The file architecture of NanoZip can operate parallel processing on multiple levels while using a single thread only. Huge chunks of data can thus be compressed using high-level archiver architecture into an NZ file by splitting the information into multiple blocks.
- Adoption: NZ files can be accessed using NanoZip software. NanoZip has compatible 32-bit and 64-bit installation files available for machines running on Windows and Linux. The 32-bit Windows version comes with a graphical user interface (GUI) as well while the other versions only include a command-line interface.

NZ format details:
Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the NZ files:
NZ is rarely used as a file extension and includes various formats for various programs. However, the following two file formats are common:
- 35% of all NZ files belong to NanoZip compressed archive. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. The files are often between 550 KB and 70 MB in size. The file type is relatively new. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as NanoZip 0.09 alpha. The file name MaruGoAA-SR.nz or MaruGoR-AA.nz is typical for these files. Such files are related to kugimmyaa and yukarryaa.
- 8% of all NZ files start with the bytes ¾º¯ß crucial for this file format. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The average file size is 1 GB with most files being between 39 MB and 2 GB in size. Files like these are sometimes connected to core.
All other NZ files (57%) have no uniform format. If you want to find out which format your NZ file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .nz file to analyze".
