What is a ISO file?
ISO is a widely used disk image format that contains the entire contents of a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc. It's an exact digital copy of a physical disc, including its file system and structure.
ISO files are commonly used for software distribution, backup, and emulation. They can be mounted as virtual drives or burned to physical media for use on compatible devices.
How to open ISO files
ISO files can be mounted directly in Windows 10/11 and macOS. You can also open or burn them using tools like WinISO, Rufus, or PowerISO.
Use AnyConv to extract or convert ISO files to access specific contents without mounting.

What is a TAR file?
TAR stands for Tape Archive and is a format used to bundle multiple files into a single archive without compression. It originated in Unix systems and is still widely used for packaging files in open-source and Linux environments.
While TAR itself doesn’t compress data, it is often used in conjunction with compression tools like gzip or bzip2 (e.g., .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 files).
How to open TAR files
TAR files can be opened with 7-Zip, WinRAR, or Unix/Linux terminal tools. They are often used as a base for compressed archives like TAR.GZ or TAR.BZ2.
Use AnyConv to extract or convert TAR archives to standard formats on any platform.
