Questions & answers

Why turn TAR.GZ into ZIP?

ZIPs open on every major operating system out of the box, whereas TAR.GZ often needs extra software on Windows. Converting makes the archive easier to pass on.

Will the ZIP be larger than the TAR.GZ?

Often a little. TAR.GZ compresses all the files together, while ZIP compresses each one separately. The difference is normally small.

Are permissions and symlinks preserved?

No. The ZIP contains ordinary files and folders only; Unix permissions and symbolic links don't carry over.

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.
