About DEB to ZIP conversion
DEB is the standard software distribution format for Debian-based Linux systems introduced in 1993. It uses an ar archive that contains two compressed tar packages. ZIP is a general-purpose archive format released in 1989, which supports native extraction on Windows and macOS. Users of non-Debian-based systems often need to extract program resources from DEB packages.
This conversion uses the 7-Zip engine to extract program data from the DEB package, and repackages it into a ZIP archive compressed with the DEFLATE algorithm. The original directory structure inside the DEB is preserved. The maximum total uncompressed size limit is 256MB, and a maximum of 1000 files are allowed. Processing will be rejected if these limits are exceeded.
This conversion is intended for Windows and macOS users to extract program resources from DEB installation packages. It only repackages the archive structure without modifying the content of original program files. The output ZIP contains no additional watermarks, and the processing service is free of charge.

FAQ about DEB → ZIP
Will the program be modified after conversion?
Conversion only repackages the archive structure, and does not modify the content of original program files inside the DEB package. Extracted program files remain identical to those in the original DEB.
Will the directory structure be preserved?
This conversion preserves the original directory structure inside the DEB package. The output ZIP can be natively extracted by Windows and macOS, and its compatibility meets general standards.
What is the maximum single file size limit?
The maximum single file upload limit for this tool is 50MB. Only one file can be converted per process. The service is free of charge and can be used without registering an account.
Will my files be stored?
Files are uploaded to the server via HTTPS for conversion. After conversion completes, the server immediately deletes both the source file and the output file, and no storage is performed.
