BZ2 file (BZ2) stores data in the BZ2 format. VMDK file (VMDK) stores data in the VMDK format. This extracts the document from the archive so it can be opened directly. Metadata such as creation date and embedded colour profiles is preserved where the target format supports it. The result is a standard VMDK file readable by any compatible application. 1converter handles BZ2-to-VMDK conversion server-side: files are uploaded over HTTPS, processed on isolated cloud infrastructure, and the converted output is available for download for 24 hours before automatic deletion. No account is required for standard conversions.
