About BZ2 files
What can I convert a BZ2 file to?
ZIP, 7Z, TAR, TGZ, TBZ2, and TXZ — 6 formats in all.
What can I turn into a BZ2?
Nothing. No engine of ours writes BZ2, so it is a format we read rather than produce.
Is BZ2 lossy?
No. A BZ2 stores its contents exactly, which is why the files are larger than a lossy equivalent.
