How to extract randomness from a file?

I have a generator of files with approximately 7 bits /byte entropy. The files are about 30KB each in length. I'd like to use these as sources of entropy to generate random numbers. Theoretically I should be able to achieve about 26 KB (max) of randomness per file.

I know about using hashes, but are there alternative methods of extraction?
