What is GRAPHMLZ file?
The file with the extension GRAPHMLZ is the Data Files file type. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. Zip Compressed GraphML Format is supported by 3 operating systems.

Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs.
How to open GRAPHMLZ file?
The main problem with Zip Compressed GraphML Format is that the GRAPHMLZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that GRAPHMLZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GRAPHMLZ 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 yEd
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that yEd is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name yEd into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GRAPHMLZ files.
Programs to open GRAPHMLZ file
Remember to download programs supporting GRAPHMLZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of yEd with GRAPHMLZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GRAPHMLZ file to open in the yEd application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GRAPHMLZ file with the yEd program.
Step 3. Update yEd to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the yEd program, it is possible that Zip Compressed GraphML Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the yWorks website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GRAPHMLZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the GRAPHMLZ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GRAPHMLZ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GRAPHMLZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of GRAPHMLZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GRAPHMLZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GRAPHMLZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the GRAPHMLZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
