How do I open a GZIP file?
You can open it right here to convert it into something more convenient. If your computer does not recognise it, the practical move is to convert it to a universal format such as PDF.
What is the maximum GZIP size here?
500 MB. That is the cap we work with for this format so conversion stays fast and reliable.
Are my GZIP files uploaded to a server?
No. We never receive them, so there is nothing to store and nothing to delete.
