About ZIP to TGZ conversion
ZIP was released by PKWARE in 1989, uses DEFLATE compression on a per-file basis, and is a universal archive format for file distribution. TGZ is a gzip-compressed wrapper for TAR, with the double extension tar.gz. It was launched by GNU in 1992 as the standard for Linux source and deployment packages. This conversion meets the workflow requirements of the Linux ecosystem.
This conversion is powered by the 7-Zip engine. The complete directory structure of the original archive is preserved after processing. TGZ uses a整体 compression mechanism, so its compression ratio differs from the original ZIP. The output can be directly recognized and processed by native tar tools, and preserves original file access permissions.
The conversion result is suitable for Linux system source code compilation and server deployment packaging scenarios. It can be decompressed directly with the tar -xzf command. The conversion process does not modify original file content, and outputs a format that conforms to GNU toolchain specifications.

FAQ about ZIP → TGZ
Will there be quality loss after conversion?
Conversion only changes the archive packaging format, does not modify internal files, and causes no content quality loss. Internal files are output in their original state.
Will the full directory structure be preserved?
The conversion process fully preserves the directory hierarchy and file permission information from the original ZIP. The output TGZ conforms to the Linux archive format standard.
Is there an upload file size limit?
The maximum size for a single file is 50MB, and only one file can be converted per operation. Processing will be rejected if the total uncompressed size exceeds 256MB or the number of files exceeds 1000.
Will you store my files after conversion?
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, and does not store any files.
