Press “Convert to TAR”. When it’s done, download the files one by one or all together in a ZIP archive.

Source format
gzip
It compresses a single file, with no folders. It’s used for logs, database backups and web transfers.
Target format
Tape Archive

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
