What is a Z02 file

Z02 files mostly belong to WinZip by Corel. The Z02 extension is for a segment of a split ZIP archive, which is created by the WinZip file compression and archiving software from Corel.

Multi-Volume Archives: Along with regular archives, WinZip is able to create multi-volume archives by splitting a file into segments. All of these segments have a specified size. Splitting a file into a multi-volume archive breaks it into smaller segments for faster file transfer. It can also be useful when data needs to be divided into smaller sections for saving on storage media such as CDs or DVDs.
Compression Format: Z02 files and all the other segments in the split archive are compressed using the ZIP format, which is a lossless data compression format and is the default format of WinZip.
Naming: The first segment of the split archive is given the Z01 extension, the second is given the Z02 extension, and so on. The ZIP extension is assigned to the last segment of the archive.
Related File Formats: The software has the option of creating split archives with ZIPX compression, which is a more advanced compression method. Instead of Z02, the second segment created using this compression method has the ZX02 extension.

How to open a Z02 file

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the Z02 files:
