The CPGZ file format is a combination of two formats, a CPIO file with GZIP compression. Throughout this article, we will show you how you can easily and quickly open, edit and convert these CPGZ files.
CPIO is an uncompressed file format, so GZIPing the file compresses the file and saves disk space. It serves and works on the Mac OS, Unix-based operating system to transfer software programs, documents, movies, etc.
