What is a GZIP file?

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. Since conversion happens inside your browser, the limit comes from your device memory, not from a server.
Are my GZIP files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens on your own device, so the file never leaves it.
