About TGZ to ZIP conversion
TGZ is a gzip-compressed TAR packaging format introduced by GNU in 1992, and it is the standard format for Linux source packages and deployment packages. ZIP is a per-file DEFLATE compression format released by PKWARE in 1989. It is a general distribution format natively supported by Windows and macOS. This conversion solves native extraction compatibility issues.
This conversion is processed based on the 7-Zip engine. It outputs a standard ZIP format after conversion and preserves the original directory structure. Linux file permission information stored in the original TGZ will not be preserved. There is no fixed difference between the DEFLATE algorithm compression ratio and the original gzip compression ratio, and the final size varies by file type.
This conversion is suitable for workflows that require direct double-click extraction of TGZ format Linux deployment packages in native Windows or macOS environments. Extracted files can be used directly for project building and software deployment, no additional extraction tools are required.

FAQ about TGZ → ZIP
Does file quality change after conversion?
The conversion process does not modify the content of original files, it only changes the archive compression packaging format, no lossy content compression is involved. Only file permission information is not preserved.
Will the original directory structure be preserved?
The conversion completely preserves the internal directory structure of the original TGZ. The output ZIP can be directly recognized and extracted by native tools of Windows and macOS.
What is the single file size limit?
The maximum size for a single uploaded file is 50MB, the maximum total extracted size is 256MB, and the maximum number of files is 1000. Processing will be rejected if any limit is exceeded.
Will files be stored?
Files are uploaded to the server via HTTPS for conversion. After conversion completes, the server immediately deletes both the source file and the output file, no storage is performed.
