About GZIP and TAR
GZIP compresses a single stream.
TAR is an uncompressed archive format.
GZIP files are read by the convertexa engine that ships with this page, so the conversion is identical whether you use this tool or the general converter. The output is produced with the same codec settings for every visitor, which means the same input always produces the same result.
Limitations
- A .gz file normally holds a single file, so the result is a one-entry TAR.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a GZIP file to TAR?
Add your GZIP file to the box above. convertexa detects the format from the file content, applies the GZIP to TAR conversion and gives you the result to download. The whole operation runs inside your browser.
Are my GZIP files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in a sandboxed worker on your own device. Your file never leaves the browser, and nothing is stored on a server.
Is the GZIP to TAR conversion lossless?
No. TAR is a re-encoded format, so some data is discarded to reach the target format. GZIP compresses a single stream.
Is there a size limit?
For reliable results keep the input under 25 MB. Very large files run out of memory in the browser rather than failing quietly.
Which browsers are supported?
Any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on a desktop. The conversion engines need WebAssembly and Web Workers, both of which are standard since 2018.
