Frequently asked questions
What is a .tar.gz file?
A TAR archive (many files bundled together) compressed with GZIP — the usual way to share source code and backups on Linux. .tgz is the same thing.
How do I extract it on Windows or a phone?
Drop it here — the TAR and GZIP layers are opened together and you see the files directly.
Can I open a single .gz file?
Yes — a .gz holding one file is opened and that file is previewed and ready to download.
Which formats can it open?
ZIP, RAR (RAR4 and RAR5), 7Z, TAR, GZ, TGZ, BZ2, XZ, ZSTD, ISO, CAB, WIM, DMG, ARJ, LZH, CPIO, RPM, DEB, JAR and APK, plus split archives (.001, .part1.rar, .z01) — 7-Zip’s full list.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser with a WebAssembly build of 7-Zip — your files never leave your device, so it is safe for private and work documents. It even works offline once the page has loaded.
