TAR.XZ to TAR.GZ converter
Turn TAR.XZ into TAR.GZ

TAR.XZ files • Max 50MB per file • Up to 10 files
Both formats, briefly
TAR.XZIN
TAR.XZ runs LZMA2 compression over a TAR bundle and usually ends up the smallest of the common Unix archive types. Building one asks for more processor time and memory than gzip does. It fits large downloads well, because you pay that cost once and everyone who fetches the file saves bandwidth.
TAR.GZOUT
TAR.GZ wraps a TAR bundle in gzip compression, and the shorter .tgz ending means the same thing. Nearly every Linux system unpacks it with tools that are already installed, so source code and server backups travel this way. Choose it when you want a smaller file without waiting long for the archive to build.
Three steps, start to finish
Add your TAR.XZ
Drag it onto the page, or pull it in from your computer, Google Drive or Dropbox.
TAR.GZ is preselected
This page is already set to write TAR.GZ. Switch the target if you change your mind.
Take the TAR.GZ
Grab the result the moment the job clears. Your upload is wiped straight afterwards.
