About Create a .tar.gz File Online
The .tar.gz combination — files bundled with TAR, then compressed with GZIP — is the standard way to distribute file collections across Linux and macOS, from source code releases to backup bundles. This tool builds a genuine .tar.gz archive from any files you add, entirely in your browser.
The process happens in two real steps using a 7-Zip build compiled to WebAssembly: files are first bundled into a standard TAR archive, then that TAR file is compressed with GZIP — exactly the same two-step process command-line tools use, just running inside your browser instead of a terminal.
This produces a file that opens correctly with any standard tar utility (`tar -xzf` on the command line, or any GUI archive tool that recognizes .tar.gz) — a genuinely standard file, not a simplified approximation.
Everything runs locally: your files are bundled and compressed entirely inside your browser's WebAssembly sandbox, with nothing uploaded to a server during the process.
How it works
- Add your files. Select the files to bundle together.
- Bundle and compress. Files are packed into TAR, then compressed with GZIP.
- Download the .tar.gz. A standard archive, ready to share or extract anywhere.
