What people use it for.
What happens to your file.
Files are first written into a TAR stream, then that stream is compressed with gzip. The result is a standard .tar.gz file that tar, gzip, and most Linux tools understand.
Where it stops: Gzip is a single-stream compressor, so extracting one file usually requires reading through the archive. Use ZIP when random access and broad desktop compatibility matter more.
Everything you need, without a paywall.
Common questions.
What is the difference between TAR and TAR.GZ?
TAR stores the file list. Gzip compresses that TAR into a smaller .tar.gz file.
Can Windows open it?
Recent Windows versions can, but ZIP is still easier for non-technical recipients.
Will it compress images or videos much?
Usually not. Those formats are already compressed.
