Archive Your OTB File in 7Z Format
Learn how to efficiently package your OTB image files into compressed 7Z archives for easy distribution, secure storage, and size-limited transfers.
Quick Access To 3 OTB File Conversion Pairs
What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to archive OTB image files into 7Z archive format. OTB files store bitmap-related data specific to certain tools, while 7Z is a powerful open archive format known for high compression and encryption features. The tool helps bundle multiple OTB files into a single compressed archive that is easier to share and store.
How to Use This Tool?
- Upload your OTB files or directories that you want to archive.
- Choose the 7Z format as the output archive type.
- Select options like encryption or multi-volume if needed.
- Click the convert or archive button to start packaging files.
- Download the resulting 7Z archive containing your OTB data.
Key Features
- Convert multiple OTB bitmap or metadata files into one compressed 7Z archive.
- Supports high compression ratios using LZMA/LZMA2 algorithms.
- Option to create encrypted archives with AES-256 for secure backup.
- Ability to create multi-volume (split) archives for transfers with size limits.
- Preserves directory structure and original OTB file integrity.
Examples
- Create a compressed .7z archive from a folder of OTB font glyph files to reduce download size for sharing.
- Archive remote-sensing OTB workflow outputs into a password-protected 7Z for secure storage.
- Produce split 7Z archives of many OTB texture assets to transfer across media with limited file size capacity.
Common Use Cases
- Packaging OTB bitmap glyph tables from font toolchains into one compressed file for distribution.
- Archiving Orfeo ToolBox raster and metadata OTB outputs securely with encryption.
- Creating multi-part 7Z archives to move large sets of OTB assets across storage devices or networks.
Tips & Best Practices
- Use AES-256 encryption when storing sensitive OTB data in archives.
- Consider creating multi-volume archives for large collections to facilitate easier transfer.
- Ensure recipients of 7Z archives have compatible extraction tools supporting LZMA2 and encryption features.
- Keep original OTB files intact for use in their native applications to preserve full compatibility.
- Be mindful that solid compression may slow extraction of individual files within the archive.
Limitations
- Archiving does not alter the OTB file format or guarantee interoperability with all software.
- Some 7Z features like LZMA2 compression and header encryption may not be supported by all extractors.
- Solid compression increases processing time when extracting or modifying single OTB files inside the archive.
- Creating or unpacking 7Z archives can be resource-intensive on devices with limited CPU or memory.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an OTB file used for?
- OTB files store bitmap glyphs or specialized raster metadata for font toolchains, remote-sensing workflows, or specialized graphics applications.
- Why archive OTB files into 7Z?
- Packaging OTB files into a 7Z archive simplifies distribution, allows compression to save space, supports encryption for security, and enables split archives for size-limited transfers.
- Do I need special software to open 7Z archives?
- Yes, most operating systems do not natively support 7Z archives, so you will need third-party tools like 7-Zip that handle advanced features such as LZMA2 and AES-256 encryption.
Key Terminology
- OTB
- A file extension for bitmap glyph or raster metadata files used in font or remote-sensing toolchains, often with application-specific structures.
- 7Z
- An open archive container format supporting high compression ratios, encryption, and multi-volume archives, developed by the 7-Zip project.
- AES-256 Encryption
- A strong encryption standard used to secure file contents within a 7Z archive, providing robust data protection.
- Solid Compression
- A compression method in 7Z archives that compresses similar files together to increase efficiency but can slow individual file extraction.
