What is BMZ file?

The file in the BMZ format belongs to the Raster Image Files category. Raster Image Files consists of 522 similar files. Compressed Bitmap Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is WinZip. This was created by WinZip Computing, S.L..

How to open BMZ file?

An often recurring problem with Compressed Bitmap Format is that BMZ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BMZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BMZ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install WinZip

In this case, you should first verify that the WinZip application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WinZip into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BMZ with WinZip. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BMZ files.

Programs to open BMZ file

Remember to download programs supporting BMZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinZip with BMZ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BMZ file still does not use the WinZip program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinZip application as the default for handling the BMZ file.

Step 3. Update WinZip to the latest version

If, despite the association of the WinZip program with the Compressed Bitmap Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the WinZip Computing, S.L. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BMZ file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The BMZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BMZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BMZ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BMZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BMZ files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BMZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BMZ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BMZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BMZ to close. However, some background programs may block the BMZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
