Create TAR
Create a TAR archive for Linux, containers, source packages, and build systems that expect a tarball. TAR preserves Unix-style paths and groups files without the ZIP container format. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.

What people use it for.
What happens to your file.
Files are written into a TAR stream with normalized paths and file metadata. The result is an uncompressed .tar archive that can be compressed later if needed.
Where it stops: A plain TAR does not compress files. Use Create TAR.GZ when you need a smaller archive for transfer.
Everything you need, without a paywall.
Common questions.
Is TAR the same as TAR.GZ?
No. TAR groups files; gzip compresses the TAR stream.
Why use TAR instead of ZIP?
Many Linux and build workflows expect TAR, especially before gzip compression.
Does it preserve folders?
Yes. Folder paths are stored in the archive.
You might also need.
Compress multiple uploaded files into a gzip-compressed TAR.GZ archive for Linux, hosting and development workflows.
Safely extract one TAR or TAR.GZ archive per job with path, member-count and total output-size limits.
Convert a ZIP archive into TAR while safely validating member paths and extraction size.
Compress multiple uploaded files into a standard ZIP archive with preserved filenames and DEFLATE compression.
