What is a GZ file?
GZ is a single-file compression format developed as part of the GNU Project. It uses the DEFLATE compression algorithm and is commonly used on Unix and Linux systems for reducing the size of files.
Unlike archive formats, GZ compresses only one file at a time. It is often paired with TAR (.tar.gz) to create compressed archives of multiple files and folders.
How to open GZ files
GZ files can be opened with 7-Zip, WinRAR, gzip (Linux/Unix), or macOS built-in tools. They're typically used to compress individual files.
Use AnyConv to extract or convert GZ files to a readable format online.
