What is TAR.GZ (Tarball compressed with Gzip)?
TAR.GZ is a compressed archive format that combines the TAR (Tape Archive) format with the Gzip compression algorithm. The .tar.gz extension refers to a TAR archive file that has been compressed using Gzip for efficient storage or transmission.
The TAR format collects multiple files and directories into a single file without compression, while Gzip applies compression to reduce the file size, making it more suitable for transferring over the internet or storing large sets of files.
How to open TAR.GZ?
TAR.GZ files can be opened with various software applications depending on your operating system:
- On Linux and macOS, use the built-in `tar` command-line utility to extract the files. For example: `tar -xzvf file.tar.gz`.
- On Windows, you can use tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR to extract TAR.GZ files.
- On macOS, you can also use Finder to open TAR.GZ files by double-clicking them.
TAR.GZ is Developed by: GNU Project (TAR), Jean-Loup Gailly (Gzip)

Q: What should I do if my archive has a very large file inside?
A: If your archive contains a very large file, we recommend checking the file size before uploading. Large files might take longer to convert, and it's best to ensure they don't exceed our file size limits.
Q: Can I convert an archive to a non-compressed format?
A: Yes, you can convert an archive file to a non-compressed format by simply extracting the files first, then saving them individually. Or, if you prefer, just convert to an uncompressed archive like TAR.
Q: Can I convert an archive that contains executable programs?
A: You can, but be cautious. When converting archives with executable files, those files might not work as expected in the new format, depending on the type of archive and conversion chosen.
Q: Can I convert a multi-volume RAR archive?
A: Yes, we support multi-volume RAR archives. Just make sure all parts of the archive are uploaded for the conversion to work correctly.
Q: Why are my converted files corrupted?
A: Corrupted files might happen if there was an issue with the original file or the upload process. Try re-uploading your file or check if there’s any issue with the original archive before converting.
Q: Can I convert a corrupted ZIP file?
A: Unfortunately, corrupted ZIP files can’t be converted properly. You’ll need to repair the ZIP file first or upload a valid one for the conversion process.
