How to Convert 7Z to TAR in Three Clicks
Upload .7z File
That highly compressed 7Z archive you downloaded or made.
Auto-Convert to TAR
We unpack the 7Z and repack it as a standard TAR archive.
Download .tar
Ready for `tar -xvf` on any Linux or Unix machine.
Why I Made a Separate 7Z to TAR Converter
Because I kept running into this problem: someone sends me a .7z file, and I'm sitting at a Linux terminal with no 7-Zip installed. Yeah, I know I can `apt install p7zip` or whatever. But sometimes you're on a locked-down server, or you just don't want to install extra packages for one file. So I made this. Upload the 7Z, click the button, and download a plain TAR. No dependencies, no command line, no fuss. It's just 7Z to TAR, done.
What Happens When You Convert 7Z to TAR?
7Z is compressed. TAR is not. So your file size will probably get bigger. That's normal. You're trading compression for compatibility. TAR is the universal language of Linux servers. You can `tar -xvf` it anywhere, no extra tools needed. If you need compression later, you can always gzip or bzip2 the TAR. But for quick access, plain TAR is perfect.
Does It Keep My Folder Structure and Permissions?
Yes. We extract the 7Z exactly as it is, then wrap everything into a TAR. Folders, subfolders, filenames – all preserved. Permissions? TAR stores Unix permissions, but if your 7Z came from Windows, those permissions might be generic. For most files – websites, configs, backups – it's totally fine.
7Z to TAR – Common Questions
Because TAR doesn't compress. It just bundles files together. Your TAR will be about the same size as the uncompressed contents of the 7Z. If you need compression, convert to TAR.GZ or TAR.BZ2 instead.
Not with this tool. You'll need to remove the password first using 7-Zip or similar software.
Yeah, Macs handle TAR files natively. Just double-click or use `tar -xvf` in Terminal. Same as Linux.
300MB. If your 7Z is bigger than that, you might need to split it into smaller volumes.
