Questions
About converting TAR.GZ to ZIP.
Are the folders of my TAR.GZ kept?
Yes. The ZIP has the same folders and file names as your TAR.GZ, including names with accents or other alphabets.
Are links and special files kept?
No. Links and device files are left out for security, so the ZIP holds regular files and folders only.
How large can the archive be?
Unpacked, the content can be up to 4 GB in at most 20,000 files. Large archives that would unpack to more than 250 times their own size are stopped for safety.
Is the TAR.GZ to ZIP converter free?
Yes. You can convert up to 50 files a day for free without creating an account.
Where are my files stored?
On servers in the EU, and only for 24 hours. After that they are deleted automatically.
