Hello everyone. I’ve searched the entire forum but can’t find out how to convert a zip file to bin. I modified a watch face using Amazfit Editor (to improve the AOD), but I can't convert the zip file to bin. I hope someone would be kind enough to answer me. Thanks. :D

You should specify which device the watch face you are creating belongs to.
If it's an Amazfit:
Amazfit Gen1 and Gen2 files will have the extension .bin.
Amazfit Gen +3 (ZeppOS) files will have the extension .zip.
Once the watch face is created, the editor will automatically pack it into that file format without needing to convert it.

But you must use the correct editor for the Gen, such as:
Gen1
viewtopic.php?p=3789#p3789

Gen2
viewtopic.php?p=8392#p8392

Gen3
viewtopic.php?p=11643#p11643

As far as I know, there is no program that can translate Gen1-2 BIN files to Gen3 ZIP files.
If you want to use Gen1-2 watch faces with Gen3, you must bring the watch face resources that you want in Get1-2 to built the Gen +3 ( ZeppOS) you want to use only.

Thank you for your attention. Mine is generation 3 and I didn't know that this new generation used zip files.
