Frequently asked questions
What is a TAR file?
TAR (Tape Archive) bundles multiple files into a single archive without compression. It is commonly used on Unix/Linux systems and often paired with gzip (.tar.gz).
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. TAR creation and extraction happens entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
Does TAR compress my files?
No. TAR only bundles files together without reducing their size. For compression, use TAR.GZ which applies gzip compression on top.
Can I create TAR archives?
Yes. Switch to Create mode, drop your files, choose TAR as the output format, and download the resulting archive.
