    What is a TAR.GZ file?

    A .tar.gz or .tgz file is a TAR archive compressed as a single gzip stream. It is the traditional way to distribute source code and backups on Linux and macOS.

    Windows can only open these with extra tools, so ConvertCove extracts them in the browser, or converts them to a ZIP that Windows Explorer opens natively.
