# Converting archives

You can use Archiver to convert archives from one format to another, for example you can convert a RAR archive to Zip format to make life easier for your friends and colleagues.

## To convert an archive to another format:

Drag in the archive.

Click Convert.

Choose the format to which you want to convert the archive.

Click Convert.

By default the converted archive will have the same filename as the original archive, with the file ending changed to that of the new format. For example if you convert the archive Report.rar to Zip format the converted archive will be named Report.zip. To change the filename of the converted archive, type the new name into the “Name” box.
