The eaz file extension is associated with ArcGIS Explorer, a free GIS viewing application for Microsoft Windows developed by Esri.
An eaz file packages an ArcGIS Explorer add-in, including the components and information that ArcGIS Explorer needs to install and run the extension. It is an application add-on rather than a standalone GIS data format.
Install the add-in in ArcGIS Explorer by opening the eaz file on a Windows computer where ArcGIS Explorer is installed. ArcGIS Explorer handles the package and makes the add-in available in the application.
The file is not intended to be opened as a document in a text editor or general archive utility.
An eaz file is an add-in package, so it normally has no useful conversion to another file format. Use it by installing it in ArcGIS Explorer.
If the add-in needs to be changed or adapted, its developer must modify the original add-in project and create a new package.
