What is a gzip file?

Gzip compresses a single file. It is everywhere on the web and on Linux: log files, database dumps, downloads and web pages are often served as .gz. A .tar.gz (or .tgz) is a TAR archive that has been gzipped, to bundle many files.

Decompressing a gzip file

Drop the .gz file in the box. A single file is unpacked and offered for download, with the .gz removed from its name. A TAR archive inside is opened so you can pick files from it or download everything as a ZIP.

Private by design

Decompression happens on your own device. Your file is not uploaded.
