How to convert TAR to ZIP, step by step

  1. Select your TAR file

    Click the upload area or drag your TAR file straight onto it. You can drop several at once if you need to convert them all.

  2. Check the target is ZIP

    The output format is already set to ZIP. If you added several files and want a different format for each, switch to the "A format for each file" option.

  3. Press Convert

    Conversion runs on your own device, so it starts instantly and never depends on your internet speed or on a queue at some server.

  4. Download the result

    Hit Download and save your new ZIP file. If you converted several, you can grab them all together in a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting TAR to ZIP free?

Yes, entirely. No accounts, no daily file limit and no watermarks on the result. The site is funded by the ads on the page.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The TAR to ZIP conversion runs inside your browser, on your own device. The file never travels across the internet, so nobody can see it and there is no copy left to delete afterwards.

Is quality lost in the conversion?

No. ZIP stores the data without loss, so the result keeps exactly the detail of the original.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Drop in as many as you like and they will be converted one after another. When they finish you can download them individually or all together in a ZIP.
