Repackage any ZIP archive as TAR.GZ — the standard for Linux distributions, Docker layers, and CI pipelines. Powered by fflate, runs entirely in your browser.
Per-job file size, entry count, and batch caps for ZIP → TAR.GZ. Limits apply to every Archive tool in JAD Apps; upgrade for larger uploads and bigger batches.
| Tier | Max archive size | Max entries / archive | Max files per batch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 47.7 MB | 500 | 1 |
| Pro | 476.8 MB | 50,000 | 20 |
| Developer | 1.86 GB | 50,000 | 20 |

TAR is the de facto Linux archive format. Many tools (Docker, CI/CD pipelines, package managers) require TAR.GZ specifically. TAR also preserves Unix file permissions in a way ZIP doesn't expose cleanly.
ZIP doesn't expose Unix mode bits as a standard field, so we default to 0644 for files and 0755 for directories. The Filename Sanitizer can normalize paths before conversion.
No — encrypted entries are decrypted and stored cleartext if you provide the password, otherwise the conversion fails with a clear error. TAR has no native encryption.
Repackage TAR.GZ as ZIP for users on Windows, macOS Finder, or any environment without tar installed. Browser-native, zero upload, lossless content transfer.
Open toolPick a target format and convert any input archive to it. Handles ZIP ↔ TAR.GZ ↔ GZIP in any direction. Browser-native, zero upload, no command line.
Open toolTake a single-file GZIP (.gz) and wrap it inside a ZIP container — useful when sharing with users whose tools don't recognize .gz directly.
