What is a TAR file?
TAR bundles many files and folders into a single file, without compressing them. It is the standard on Linux and macOS, where it is usually combined with gzip (.tar.gz or .tgz), bzip2 or xz to make the bundle smaller.
Opening a TAR archive
Drop the file in the box. Compressed archives are unpacked in one go. You get a list of all files with folders and sizes; click a name to preview images and text, use Download for one file, or Download all for a ZIP.
Good to know
The tool reads what is in the archive; it doesn't restore file permissions or links, since a download is just a file. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

Which archives can I extract?

Can I open an archive with a password?
