7Z is Great, But TAR.GZ is Universal
I love 7Z compression. It's usually smaller than anything else. But here's the thing: when I'm working on a Linux server, I don't want to install p7zip just to extract one file. I want `tar -xzf file.tar.gz` and I'm done. That's why I built this. You keep your 7Z for storage, but when it's time to deploy or transfer to a Unix machine, convert it to TAR.GZ here. Same compression level (Gzip is solid), zero dependencies on the server.
Is TAR.GZ as Small as 7Z?
Honestly? Usually not. 7Z compresses better than Gzip. But TAR.GZ is the standard. Every Linux, Mac, and even Windows (with WSL or 7-Zip) opens it. It's the trade-off: a slightly bigger file for guaranteed compatibility. If you need maximum compression, stick with 7Z. If you need "it just works" on any server, go TAR.GZ.
What Happens During Conversion?
We take your 7Z, unpack everything inside, then repack it as a TAR archive and compress it with Gzip. Your files stay exactly the same – no quality loss, no renamed folders. It's just a different container. The whole process takes a minute or two, depending on file size.
7Z to TAR.GZ – Quick Answers
Space. Plain TAR doesn't compress, so your file might be huge. TAR.GZ adds Gzip compression, making it much smaller while still being readable by `tar -xzf` on any Linux machine.
Not right now. You'd need to combine the volumes first using 7-Zip, then upload the single archive.
Usually no. 7Z has better compression than Gzip. Your TAR.GZ will probably be larger, but it'll be more compatible.
You can download the TAR.GZ file on Windows, but you'll need 7-Zip or WinRAR to open it. Or you can convert it back to ZIP here.
