About 7Z to TGZ conversion
7Z is an archive format introduced in 1999 for 7-Zip, using LZMA/LZMA2 compression algorithms. TGZ is a gzip-compressed wrapper for TAR, following the 1992 GNU specification, and is the standard format for Linux source and deployment packages. This conversion meets the demand for adapting to native Linux system decompression workflows.
This conversion uses the 7-Zip engine to decompress the original 7Z file, then repackages it into TAR and compresses it with gzip for output. It preserves the complete directory structure and file permissions, and the output TGZ conforms to the POSIX specification. The solid compression block feature of the original 7Z is not retained, and the compression ratio matches the general level of gzip.
The output of this conversion is suitable for workflows such as Linux source compilation and server deployment package creation. The generated file can be decompressed directly with the tar -xzf command. Third-party compression software is required to open the output file on Windows platforms. The maximum size of a single input file is 50MB.

FAQ about 7Z → TGZ
Does file quality change after conversion?
This conversion is a lossless repackaging operation, it does not change the content or quality of the original files. The conversion only repackages the archive structure, without modifying the original files inside the package.
Will the original directory structure be preserved?
The conversion process completely preserves the directory structure and file permissions from the original 7Z package. The output TGZ conforms to the POSIX archive specification and can be recognized normally on Linux systems.
What is the maximum single file size limit?
For this conversion on this service, the maximum single file size is 50MB. Processing will be rejected if the total uncompressed size exceeds 256MB or the number of files exceeds 1000.
Are uploaded files retained?
Files are uploaded to the server via HTTPS for conversion. After conversion is complete, the server immediately deletes both the source file and the output file, and does not store any files.
