Frequently asked questions
What is a TAR.GZ file?
TAR.GZ (also called .tgz) is a TAR archive compressed with gzip. It is the most common archive format on Unix/Linux systems.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
What is the difference between TAR and TAR.GZ?
TAR bundles files without compression. TAR.GZ applies gzip compression on top, resulting in smaller file sizes.
Can I create TAR.GZ archives?
Yes. Switch to Create mode, drop your files, choose TAR.GZ as the output format, and download the compressed archive.
