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.

Roshal Archive (RAR) is a proprietary archive format that generally compresses better than ZIP. Its distinctive features are strong AES encryption, built-in recovery records that can repair a partially corrupted archive, and multi-volume splitting, which breaks one large archive into numbered parts such as .part1.rar and .part2.rar. Creating RAR files requires licensed software, but the extraction algorithm is openly documented, so many tools can unpack them.
How to open a RAR file?
Neither Windows nor macOS opens RAR out of the box, so you will need a tool. WinRAR is the official program from the format’s creator and offers a long trial period.
Other tools extract RAR perfectly well: 7-Zip and PeaZip on Windows, The Unarchiver on macOS, and the unrar package on Linux. When an archive is split into several parts, place every part in the same folder and open the first one — the tool will pull in the rest automatically.
