No. Everything runs in your browser - your file never leaves your device. How this is verifiable
A .tar archive bundles several files into one - typical on Linux and macOS, often the container inside a .tar.gz. This tool reads the TAR and gives you back every contained file individually, unchanged and lossless.
Extraction runs entirely locally in your browser (a pure JavaScript USTAR reader). Your data is never uploaded. For a .tar.gz, first decompress the .gz with the gzip tool, then open the TAR.
Such bundles often arrive when downloading source-code releases, container images or backups from a Linux server. Instead of reaching for a console first, you pull the content out conveniently here and immediately see which components are included. Every single entry appears for targeted selection, so you do not have to open the whole package just to view one contained template.

Limitations: Reads the widely supported USTAR format; very exotic TAR variants with long paths (PAX/GNU) may not be fully supported. Gzip-decompress a .tar.gz first. Directory entries are skipped.
No. The archive is extracted entirely locally in the browser.
First open the .gz with "Gzip decompress", then extract the TAR here.
Use "All as ZIP" to get the extracted files bundled.
Yes, TAR is lossless - the files come out bit-for-bit identical.
