About ZIP and TAR
ZIP is the universal archive format that Windows, macOS and every phone open out of the box.
TAR keeps files bundled without compression, ideal for preserving Unix permissions.
Why convert ZIP to TAR here?
- 100% private — conversion runs in your browser with WebAssembly; files never leave your device.
- Completely free — no sign-up, no watermarks, no per-file charges.
- Real re-packing, not renaming — the archive is unpacked and rebuilt as TAR so the result opens cleanly.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting ZIP to TAR lose my files?
No. The contents are extracted from the ZIP archive and re-packed into TAR. File contents are not altered — only the container changes.
What if my ZIP file is password-protected?
Enter the password in the options panel and the converter will decrypt it locally during the conversion.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no server limit because nothing is uploaded. Very large archives use your device's memory, so keep huge files reasonable.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens entirely inside your browser — your files never leave your device.
