Q: Can RunConvert convert TGZ to ZIP?
A: You got it! TGZ is awesome for Linux, but ZIP works everywhere. RunConvert can turn your TGZ into a ZIP, making sharing a snap. It’s like turning a niche file into something universal.
Q: Is there a limit on the number of files I can convert within an archive?
A: There’s no specific limit on the number of files inside your archive, but keep in mind that larger archives with many files might take longer to process. If you're converting many files, it's better to test with smaller batches.
Q: Can I convert an archive with symbolic links inside?
A: Symbolic links might not work properly in converted archives. If your archive contains them, they could be treated as regular files, so it’s best to check if the links are still valid after extraction.
Q: Can I convert an archive with executable files inside?
A: Yes, you can, but be cautious. Executable files (.exe) may not be usable after the conversion, depending on the new format. It's best to check the extracted files after the conversion to ensure they work.
Q: What if my archive file is in an unsupported format?
A: If your file is in an unsupported format, we recommend extracting it first and then re-uploading the contents. Our platform supports most mainstream formats, so you should be covered!
Q: Can I convert archives that contain symbolic links?
A: Symbolic links inside archives may not be processed correctly after conversion. We recommend checking the extracted files to ensure the links work as intended.
Q: Can I convert an archive with non-standard file extensions?
A: We can convert most standard archive formats. If your file has a non-standard extension, it might still work as long as it's a supported format. Feel free to try uploading it!
What is TGZ (Tarball Gzipped)?
TGZ is a compressed archive file format created by combining the Tar (Tape Archive) format with Gzip compression. The .tgz extension is commonly used for Unix-based operating systems like Linux and macOS.
This format is commonly used to bundle multiple files and directories into a single file, then compress them to reduce file size. TGZ files are especially useful for software distribution, backups, and transferring large amounts of data.
How to open TGZ?
TGZ files can be opened with popular archive managers like WinRAR, 7-Zip, or macOS's built-in Archive Utility on Windows and macOS, respectively.
On Linux, you can use terminal commands like 'tar -xzvf filename.tgz' to extract the contents. Most file managers also support TGZ files for extraction.
TGZ is Developed by: GNU Project
TGZ was Released on: 1980 (Tar), 1992 (Gzip)
