What is the difference between ZIP and TAR?

ZIP combines archiving and compression in one format. TAR is an archive only: it bundles files without compressing them. For compressed TAR, use .tar.gz (TAR + GZIP). This converter produces uncompressed TAR.

Are Unix file permissions preserved?

File permissions from the original ZIP are preserved where available. TAR natively supports Unix permissions, ownership, and symlinks.

How do I open a TAR file on Linux?

Use: tar -xf archive.tar to extract. Or: tar -tzf archive.tar to list contents without extracting.

Does the TAR output have compression?

This converter produces uncompressed TAR. For GZIP-compressed output, compress the resulting TAR with gzip archive.tar after downloading.

Does it support .tar.gz and .tgz files?

Yes. TAR.GZ (GZIP-compressed TAR) and TGZ files are both accepted. The converter decompresses and re-archives as ZIP.

Are file permissions lost when converting TAR to ZIP?

Yes. Unix file permissions and ownership stored in TAR are not preserved in ZIP format. For Windows users, this is usually not relevant.

Can Windows open ZIP files without extra software?

Yes. Windows 10 and Windows 11 open ZIP files natively: just double-click the file. No 7-Zip or WinRAR required.

What about symlinks inside the TAR?

Symlinks are resolved and the referenced files are included in the ZIP. ZIP does not support symlinks natively.

Si. Los archivos RAR modernos creados por WinRAR 5 y posteriores usan el formato RAR5. Este convertidor maneja archivos RAR3 y RAR5.

Se preservaran todos los archivos dentro del archivo comprimido?

Si. Todos los archivos y la estructura de carpetas dentro del RAR se preservan en el ZIP resultante.
