tar.bz2
| Extension | .tar.bz2 |
| Category | 🔵 archives |
| Description | 🔵 The tar.bz2 file format is a compression format used to compress and archive multiple files into a single file. It is a combination of two separate compression formats: tar (short for Tape Archive) and bzip2. |
| Technical details | 🔵 The tar format is used to package multiple files into a single archive file, while preserving their individual attributes such as permissions, ownership, timestamps, and directory structures. The bzip2 format is then used to compress the tar archive, resulting in a smaller file size. The resulting .tar.bz2 file contains both the original files and the information needed to restore them to their original form, including the directory structure and file attributes. |

ZIP uses many compression algorithms including the popular DEFLATE compression and is used to reduce the total size when sending files over the internet. You can also zip files to save more disk space, which is ideal for portable device users. ZIP files also support encryption and split archives, offering a perfect way to organize and store your files. |

Simply highlight all the files you want to zip, right click and select “Send to” then “Compressed ZIP Folder” on Windows. You can also zip files using a zipping software application, although you don’t need any additional software to compress your files into a zipped folder. Opening a ZIP file is as effortless as double clicking the folder and opening the individual files or folders in the zip. However, some folders require an unzipping too to extract the files. To open the documents or files in a zipped folder, right click on the zipped file and select “Extract All” which will decompress the files to their original sizes.

However, there’s little to distinguish between most zipping formats. Zipped folders are ideal when you want to create an archive or store files on a portable device. You can also zip files to create an executable as ZIPs are actually executable. |
