About the File Archiver
The File Archiver creates archives in various formats — such as tar, gz, and bz2 — with compression options, giving you flexibility beyond ZIP. These formats are common in Linux, development, and server environments.
Different ecosystems prefer different archive formats: tar.gz is ubiquitous in the Unix world, and developers often need specific formats for deployment or sharing. Producing the right archive type directly avoids extra conversion steps.
Archiving runs in your browser, so your files never leave your device. That keeps source code and data private, with no upload and no account.
How to use the File Archiver
- Add the files you want to archive.
- Choose the archive format (such as tar, gz, or bz2).
- Set any compression options.
- Create the archive locally.
- Download the finished archive.
Common use cases
- Creating a tar.gz archive for a Linux server or deployment.
- Producing a specific archive format a workflow requires.
- Compressing files with a format other than ZIP.
- Packaging project files for a development environment.
Frequently asked questions
Which formats can I create?
Common Unix-style formats such as tar, gz, and bz2 are supported, in addition to standard compression, giving you options beyond ZIP.
What’s the difference between tar and gz?
tar bundles files together without compressing, while gz (gzip) compresses. Combined as tar.gz, you get a single compressed archive, which is the common Unix convention.
When should I use bz2?
bzip2 (bz2) often compresses more than gzip at the cost of speed, which can be worth it for large, highly compressible data.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Archiving happens in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
How do I create a plain ZIP instead?
Use the ZIP Creator for standard ZIP archives.
