Compressed Tarball File
| Extension | .tar.gz |
| Category | 🔵 archives |
| Programs | 🔵 7-Zip 🔵 Acubix PicoZip 🔵 Ark 🔵 PeaZip 🔵 WinRAR 5 🔵 Xarchive |
| Description | 🔵 The tar.gz format is a compressed archive file format used to store multiple files in a single file. It is a combination of two compression methods: TAR (Tape Archive) and GZIP. The TAR format is used to bundle multiple files into a single file, while the GZIP format is used to compress the resulting TAR file to reduce its size. |
| Technical details | 🔵 The TAR format preserves file metadata such as permissions, ownership, and timestamps, and can store files of any type and format. The GZIP format compresses the TAR file using the DEFLATE algorithm, which is a lossless compression algorithm that reduces the size of the file without losing any data. The resulting tar.gz file is a single compressed archive file that can be easily transferred or shared. It can be decompressed and extracted using various utilities, including command-line tools like tar and gzip, as well as graphical user interface tools like 7-Zip, WinRAR, and WinZip. |

Gzipped Tar File
| Extension | .tgz |
| Category | 🔵 archives |
| Programs | 🔵 Smith Micro Stuffit Deluxe 2010 🔵 WinRAR 5 🔵 Corel WinZip 18.5 🔵 Zipeg 🔵 Incredible Bee Archiver 🔵 Tar |
| Description | 🔵 Files with the .tgz extension originate from archived TAR files compressed with gzip—the compressed files sports an extension of either .tar.gz or .tgz. The TGZ format is created for use in UNIX-based systems. The constituent TAR file serves as an archive for multiple files before compression into TGZ. TGZ file format is commonly used as an installation module in some operating systems' executable installation files. |
| Technical details | 🔵 The TGZ file format was initially created by Mark Adler and Jean Loop Gaily, with the first release going public in 1992. TGZ was designed explicitly for use on the GNU project for open-source applications. The most recent update of the TGZ format was released in June 2013. The file format and its accompanying creator applications were developed to modify relatively large files. Relative to other common types of ZIP files, the TGZ files can store much larger data volume. Also, TGZ format differs from zipped files in that unlike the multiple files compressed to form .zip file types, .tgz files can only squeeze a single TAR archive file into TGZ. |
