    Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some common questions and answers about tgz file conversions ask by our users on RunConvert.com.

    Q: Are there any fees for archive file conversions?

    A: Nope! At RunConvert, we offer free archive file conversions. Just upload your file and convert away—no hidden costs.

    Q: Can I convert a ZIP file with multiple folders inside?

    A: Yes, we can handle ZIP files that contain multiple folders. When converted, your folders will remain intact, and the contents will be preserved.

    Q: Is archive conversion safe?

    A: Yes, we take security seriously. We ensure that all files are processed securely, and we don't store them longer than necessary. Your privacy and the safety of your files are a top priority.

    Q: Can I convert a password-protected archive file?

    A: Yes, but you'll need to provide the password for us to access and convert the file. If it's protected, we won't be able to process it unless the password is provided.

    Q: Can I convert a multi-file archive into a single archive?

    A: Yes, you can. When you upload a multi-file archive, you can select a single format for all the files inside, making the process much easier to manage.

    Q: Can I convert a file that’s been archived multiple times?

    A: Yes! Even if your file has been archived multiple times (nested archives), we can handle the conversion. Just make sure to extract the final archive before uploading.

    Q: Can I convert archives with multimedia files inside?

    A: Definitely! Whether it’s images, videos, or audio files, we’ll convert the archive and keep everything intact for you. Just upload your archive, and we'll handle the rest.

    Q: Can I convert an archive that contains subdirectories?

    A: Yes, we handle archives with subdirectories. The folder structure will be maintained in the converted file, so everything stays organized just like in the original archive.

    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: How do I convert an archive to a smaller file size?

    A: To reduce the file size, we recommend converting to more efficient formats like 7z, which offer higher compression rates than ZIP. Just upload the archive and select the format you want.

    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)

    How to convert TGZ?

    To convert TGZ files, you can first extract the contents and then repackage them into different archive formats such as ZIP or RAR. Use software like WinRAR, 7-Zip, or the 'tar' command to extract and create new archive files.

    Our online archive converter also allows you to convert TGZ files into other popular formats like ZIP, TAR, or 7z. Simply upload the TGZ file, choose your desired output format, and start the conversion process.

    What is ZIP (Compressed Archive File)?

    ZIP is a popular archive file format that supports lossless data compression. It was introduced in 1989 and has since become one of the most widely used formats for compressing and bundling multiple files and folders into a single file.

    ZIP files are commonly used for efficient storage, file sharing, and reducing file sizes for faster uploads and downloads. They support various compression methods and can also include password protection for added security.

    How to open ZIP?

    ZIP files can be opened using built-in tools in modern operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux. Simply double-click the ZIP file to view its contents.

    For advanced features, use third-party tools like WinRAR, 7-Zip, or WinZip. On mobile devices, apps like ZArchiver (Android) or iZip (iOS) can open ZIP files.
