Where ZIP can actually go
A ZIP source is a widely supported archive carrying files, folders, and per-entry compression. Its useful destination depends on which stored properties the receiving workflow actually consumes.
Related formats: the 7Z converter and the RAR converter cover neighbouring jobs.

ZIP in practice
An archive conversion is really an unpack-then-repack job. What matters is whether filenames and folders survive intact and whether the receiving system's own tools can open the new package.

The failure mode worth testing
Permissions and symbolic links are not preserved consistently, and encrypted ZIP methods vary by extractor.
Evidence to collect after conversion
Extract on the destination system and compare folder paths, Unicode names, file counts, and checksums.
Archive conversion rules that apply broadly
- Scan before unpacking: Treat archives from unknown senders as untrusted collections of files.
- Check folder paths: Make sure nested folders and Unicode filenames survive the new package.
- Choose broad support: ZIP is common for sharing; TAR-based formats are common in Unix workflows.
