Convert a TAR.GZ archive to TAR: the files are extracted and repacked in the new format, keeping their names and dates.
Drag one or more TAR.GZ files onto the dashed area, or tap it to pick them from your device.
TAR is already selected; the options hold the settings that matter for this conversion.
Press “Convert to TAR”. When it’s done, download the files one by one or all together in a ZIP archive.
Good to know. Password-protected archives are not supported.
Source format
TAR archive compressed with gzip
The classic Linux archive: first the files are joined into a TAR, then the whole is compressed with gzip. It usually compresses a little better than ZIP.
Target format
Tape Archive
Born for magnetic tapes, it lines up several files keeping their names, dates and permissions, but doesn’t compress them. It’s usually compressed with gzip, hence .tar.gz.
No. The conversion from TAR.GZ to TAR happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.
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.
Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.
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.
