No. Everything runs in your browser - your file never leaves your device. How this is verifiable
A plain TAR only bundles files, it does not compress anything - which is why it is usually additionally compressed with gzip (.tar.gz/.tgz), bzip2 (.tar.bz2/.tbz2) or xz (.tar.xz/.txz). That is the standard shape Linux source releases, backups and cloud exports ship in.
Until now this needed two steps: first remove the compression, then extract the TAR. This tool detects the compression filter automatically and does both in one go, entirely locally via libarchive (WebAssembly) - no upload, offline too.
This saves you the detour through a command-line tool or a separate intermediate format for a downloaded source-code archive, a server backup or a data export. All three compression kinds run through the same tool - you do not need to know in advance which one it is.
| Input formats | TAR.GZ, TGZ, TAR.BZ2, TBZ2, TAR.XZ, TXZ |
|---|---|
| Output format | ZIP |
| Batch processing | No |
| Processing | Locally in your browser (WebAssembly) |
| File upload | None |
Limitations: Handles only the three named compression kinds (gzip/bzip2/xz) over TAR; a plain uncompressed .tar instead uses the "Extract TAR" tool. Folder structure is flattened on download (file names only). Very large archives need memory and time.
No. The archive is extracted entirely locally in the browser.
No, the tool detects the compression automatically from the file content.
For that there is the separate "Extract TAR" tool.
Use "All as ZIP" to get the extracted files bundled.
