Why Would Anyone Convert RAR to TAR.GZ?
Honestly? Because RAR is a pain if you're not on Windows. Mac has built-in tools for ZIP and TAR, but RAR? Nope. Linux? Same story – you have to install unrar first. TAR.GZ, on the other hand, opens natively on every Mac, every Linux box, and even Windows these days with PowerShell or WSL. So if someone sends you a RAR and you're working on a server or a Unix machine, converting it to TAR.GZ saves you the headache of hunting down proprietary software.
This tool unpacks your RAR, grabs all the files and folders, and packs them into a clean TAR.GZ. No recompression loss – just a format swap. Your filenames stay intact, permissions are preserved, and the whole thing is ready for tar -xzf.
Stuff People Actually Ask
Yep. We handle both old-school RAR and the newer RAR5 format. You're covered.
Unfortunately, we can't crack passwords. If it's locked, we can't open it.
Usually, RAR compresses a bit tighter than Gzip. But TAR.GZ is universal – that's the tradeoff.
