TAR.XZ and ZIP at a glance
TAR.XZ

ZIP
ZIP packs files and folders into one compressed file. It is the archive format that every computer and phone opens without extra software.
Questions
About converting TAR.XZ to ZIP.
Are the folders of my TAR.XZ kept?
Yes. The ZIP has the same folders and file names as your TAR.XZ, 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.
Do I need an account?
No. Up to 50 files a day work without an account, and the results have no watermark.
Where are my files stored?
On servers in the EU, and only for 24 hours. After that they are deleted automatically.
