TAR.GZ to TAR Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Gzipped TAR Archive and TAR Archive exist for different jobs: TAR.GZ combines the TAR container with gzip compression — the default way source code and Linux packages are distributed. TAR preserves the exact file tree and permissions that Linux tooling expects.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
