Frequently asked questions

Why convert TAR.GZ to ZIP?

ZIP files open natively on every major operating system, while TAR.GZ archives often need extra software on Windows. Converting makes the archive easier to share.

Will the ZIP be bigger than the TAR.GZ?

Often slightly. TAR.GZ compresses all files together, while ZIP compresses each file separately. The difference is usually small.

Are file permissions and symlinks kept?

No. ZIP is converted with regular files and folders only; Unix permissions and symbolic links aren't carried over.

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.
