All your files. Well organized.

A file to send, an old archive to open, a package to consult. Find your files in a suitable format.

Let's check together the options and access conditions for the next step before sending.

Your original file is kept on your deviceOnline processing after starting the conversion.
YOUR FILES, ALWAYS TOGETHER

Change the archive, keep its content.

Switch from one archive format to another according to the output options. The files remain grouped; a TAR archive contained within a ZIP remains a file of the archive.

Check before sending.

Open the result and verify the names, folders, and expected files. The available formats depend on the original archive.

THE USEFUL REFERENCE

Group, compress, extract.

These operations meet different needs. TAR groups files; gzip compresses a stream. The size of an archive is not enough to predict the space required to retrieve its content.

After conversion

  1. Compare the number of files and subfolders.
  2. Open several files after extraction.
  3. Check the names, permissions, and useful links.

Choose according to your usage.

Your questions about this tool.

Why did I receive a TAR.GZ file?

Gzip compresses a stream, while TAR groups the files of a folder. The engine therefore combines the two to preserve the contents of a multi-part archive. Open the TAR.GZ with compatible software, then check the extracted files.

Does converting an archive change the documents inside?

The goal is to change their container, not to convert each document. A PDF in an archive remains a PDF. To change its format, extract it and then use the Documents theme.

Will a ZIP archive necessarily be smaller?

No. JPEG photos, videos, or already compressed archives may shrink very little. Compare the size and prioritize especially the format that your recipient knows how to open.

What to do with a protected or damaged archive?

The form does not ask for a password. Unlock your archive locally if you are allowed to, then try again with a copy. If it is damaged, first check that your local software can extract the files; paying does not repair an unreadable archive.
