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.
