Create TAR.GZ Archive

Create compressed TAR.GZ archives in the browser with no server upload.

How to use

1. Select one or more files. The browser packages them in TAR format and applies GZIP lossless compression.
2. Download the resulting .tar.gz file. Compression depends on the input data.

About these formats

TAR.GZ (also called TGZ) combines TAR file packaging with GZIP compression, and is common for source releases and Unix backups.

Browser limitations

Archives are assembled locally within explicit memory safety caps. This release creates USTAR regular-file entries without permissions or symbolic links.
