| File Extension | SFZ |
| Full Name | SoundFont Compressed Audio |

What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "NKI") to another (referred to as "SFZ"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, NKI file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format NKI to format SFZ becomes essential.
So, how can we perform NKI to SFZ file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format NKI and transforming it into format SFZ. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of NKI to SFZ converters.

We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the NKI file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file NKI, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the NKI file to the application
- Select the output format of the SFZ file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file SFZ on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted SFZ file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
