How to convert ZIP to TAR, step by step

  1. Select your ZIP file

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

  2. Check the target is TAR

    The output format is already set to TAR. 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 TAR file. If you converted several, you can grab them all together in a ZIP.
