Extract compressed files to your computer.

The .isz file format is a compressed Zip file of an ISO image. ISO is the content of a CD placed onto a hard drive so you can recreate the exact CD. Because these files can take up a large amount of storage space, .isz files are used to reduce the file size. However, the only way you can gain access to the ISO disc image is by extracting the contents back to their original format.
