How to extract a tar.gz
- Choose the file or drop it on the page.
- Browse the folders inside.
- Download single files, or everything as a zip.
Single compressed files
A .gz, .xz, .bz2 or .zst that holds one file (a log, a database dump, a disk image) opens as that file, ready to download with its original name.
For Windows users
Windows Explorer does not open .tar.gz. This page does, and Extract all turns it into an ordinary zip.
Questions about Extract tar.gz
Are my files uploaded?
No. The archive is built or opened by an engine that runs inside your browser tab. Your files stay on your device, and the page works without a connection after the first visit.
What is a .tgz?
The same thing as a .tar.gz: a tar archive compressed with gzip, with a shorter name.
Can it open .tar.zst?
Yes. Zstandard, xz, bzip2, lz4 and gzip are all supported.
Are symbolic links kept?
Links are listed but not followed. When you download everything as a zip, the files they point to are included where they are real files in the archive.
