What is an AZ file

AZ files mostly belong to AZ Twitter Archiver.

AZ files are compressed archive files that store Twitter data using the GZIP compression format. They are created by the AZ Twitter Archiver and are designed to package tweet records along with related metadata.

How to open and view them:
If you have an AZ file, use a GZIP-compatible extraction tool such as 7-Zip or WinRAR. You might need to rename the file to a .gz extension if your software does not recognize the AZ format. Follow these steps:

Install a GZIP extraction tool.

Rename the file to .gz if necessary.

Extract the contents to view the archived Twitter data.

FilExt.com note: Few know that the underlying structure of these files can include internal indexes or metadata, making them more than just simple compressed files.

AZ format details:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the AZ files produces the following result:

The AZ file extension is not common and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. But the following two file formats are common:

• 30% of all AZ files use the popular 7z file format. 7z is a compressed archive file format that supports several different data compression, encryption and pre-processing algorithms. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The average file size is 70 MB with most files being between 70 MB and 280 MB in size. The file type is a fairly new file format.
• 10% of all AZ files save the data in GZIP file format. Gzip is a compressed archive file format. Gzip (GNU zip) is only capable of compressing a single file. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The file size is in the range of 34 KB to 1 MB. IKEAUKSupport_tweets.az or IKEAUKSupport_tweetsJ.az is a typical file name. Files like these are about ikeauksupport, tweets and tweetsj.

The remaining 60% of all AZ files are files with no common format. Files like these are sometimes linked to padvish or bike. If you want to find out what your AZ file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
