What is a .OPZ file?
An .OPZ file is a type of compressed file specifically used for storing FlipBooks created with FlipViewer, a digital book viewing application. The .OPZ file format is essentially a Zip archive that includes an .OPF file, which is the main file containing the FlipBook's structure and settings, along with all the content that has been imported into the FlipBook, such as images and text.
The reason why FlipBooks are packaged into .OPZ files is to simplify the process of sharing these digital books. By compressing the FlipBook into a single .OPZ file, it becomes easier to distribute and manage, as all the necessary components of the FlipBook are contained in one file.
To open an .OPZ file, you have a few options depending on the device and software you are using: 1. **Change the file extension to .zip**: Since .OPZ files are essentially Zip files, you can rename the file extension from .opz to .zip. After renaming, you can use any standard Zip decompression utility to open the file. This method works on all platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
2. **E-Book Systems FlipViewer**: This is the primary software designed to open and view .OPZ files. FlipViewer provides a realistic flipping book experience and additional features tailored for digital FlipBooks. It is available for both Windows and Mac operating systems.
3. **E-Book Systems Mac FlipViewer**: Specifically for Mac users, this version of FlipViewer allows Macintosh users to open and interact with .OPZ files, providing a seamless experience in the macOS environment.
By using one of these methods, you can access the contents of an .OPZ file and enjoy the digital FlipBook it contains.
