Why convert a 3GP file to a 7Z archive?

Converting 3GP files to 7Z archives reduces file size for storage or transfer, provides options for encryption, and consolidates multiple files into one compressed package.

Can I play the video directly from a 7Z archive?

No, 7Z is an archive format designed for compression and storage; you must extract the 3GP file before playing it.

Do all devices support opening 7Z archives?

Not all operating systems natively support 7Z files; you may need third-party software like 7-Zip to extract the archive.
