Frequently Asked Questions
Will my ZIP file be smaller than TAR?
Yes, ZIP applies compression while TAR doesn't. Your ZIP file will likely be significantly smaller.
Are Unix permissions preserved?
ZIP doesn't preserve Unix permissions in the same way TAR does. This is fine for data files but may matter for executables.
Can I convert tar.gz files?
This tool handles plain TAR files. For tar.gz, you may need to decompress first or use a desktop tool.
Is the conversion secure?
Absolutely. All files are processed automatically and deleted from our servers after conversion.
