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.

7z is an open archive format that usually achieves noticeably higher compression than ZIP or RAR, thanks to the LZMA and LZMA2 algorithms. It supports AES-256 encryption of both file contents and file names, handles archives up to 16 exabytes, and can split output into volumes. The specification is published openly, with no licensing restrictions on implementing it.
How to open a 7z file?
7z archives are created and read by 7-Zip, which remains the reference application for the format. Once it is present, a 7z archive opens with a double-click.
On macOS, The Unarchiver or Keka handle 7z, and on Linux the p7zip package provides the same functionality from the command line. WinRAR and PeaZip can also extract 7z. Because the strongest compression settings are slow and memory-hungry, very large 7z archives take a while to unpack. You can also convert the file with our 7Z to ZIP tool.
