Frequently asked questions

What is a TAR.GZ file?

It's a TAR archive (many files bundled into one) compressed with gzip. It's the standard way to distribute source code and backups on Linux and macOS. A .tgz file is the same thing.

How do I open a .gz file?

Drop it here. A .tar.gz shows all the files it contains, while a single gzipped file like report.csv.gz is decompressed back to report.csv.

Can Windows open TAR.GZ files?

Recent versions of Windows 11 can, but older Windows versions need extra software. Opening it here, or converting it with the TAR.GZ to ZIP tool, works on any version.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser via client-side JavaScript, on your own device. Your files never touch a remote server and nothing is stored, so it's a secure, private, no-upload tool for personal photos and confidential data, and it keeps working on slow connections.
