Frequently Asked Questions

What does this TGZ to TAR route produce?

Extract archive entries and package them in the target archive format. The target format may have different quality or capabilities than the source.

Does the .tgz file leave my device?

The conversion runs in your browser. Files are not uploaded to a conversion server.

Can I process large .tgz files or batches?

There is no daily conversion quota. Large files and batch size depend on available browser memory and the format engine.
