Questions & answers

What's a TAR.GZ file?

A TAR archive – lots of files bundled into one – compressed with gzip. It's the standard way to ship source code and backups on Linux and macOS. A .tgz is exactly the same thing.

How do I open a .gz file?

Drop it here. A .tar.gz lists every file inside, while a single gzipped file such as report.csv.gz is unpacked back to report.csv.

Can Windows open TAR.GZ by itself?

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

Do my files get uploaded anywhere?

Never. The work is done by JavaScript running in your own browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server or kept anywhere, which makes it safe for personal photos and sensitive data – and it carries on working even on a patchy connection.
