TAR.GZ is the standard Unix and Linux way of packaging software and backups. It is produced in two stages: TAR first collects all the files and directories into a single stream, keeping permissions and timestamps intact, and gzip then compresses that stream. Because gzip works across the whole bundle rather than file by file, TAR.GZ typically compresses collections of small text files better than ZIP does.
How to open a TAR.GZ file?
On Linux and macOS, run tar -xzf archive.tar.gz in a terminal, or double-click the file to extract it through the graphical archive manager.
Windows 11 extracts TAR.GZ from File Explorer, and on earlier versions 7-Zip, WinRAR, or PeaZip will do it. With 7-Zip you often extract twice — once to unwrap the .gz and once for the .tar. The shorter .tgz extension refers to exactly the same kind of file. Our archive converter can repackage it into another archive format.
