| 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. |

ZIP compression
| Extension | .zip |
| Category | 🔵 archives |
| Programs | 🔵 StuffIt 🔵 WinRAR 🔵 Winzip |
| Description | 🔵 The .zip format is widely used for file archiving and compression, which supports lossless data compression. A ZIP file may contain one or more files or directories, which may have been compressed. The ZIP file format permits a range of compression algorithms, with DEFLATE being the most commonly used. This format is preferred for file and software distribution and storage because it can reduce file size and bundle multiple files into a single archive that is easier to handle and transfer. |
| Technical details | 🔵 The .zip format, a frequently employed data compression and archiving format, includes the following technical details: - Compression Algorithm: While Deflate is primarily used, other algorithms such as BZIP2 and LZMA are also supported. - File/Directory Storage: It has the capacity to contain multiple files and directories while preserving structure and metadata. - Lossless Compression: It enables exact replication of the original data. - File Size Limits: Early ZIP versions had a limit of 4 GB in size and 65,535 files; these limits are surpassed by the ZIP64 extension. - Security: Supports password protection and encryption, inclusive of ZipCrypto and AES-256. - Error Detection: Uses CRC-32 checksums for data integrity. - Compatibility: Broadly supported across various software and operating systems. - Portability: Often used for data transfer over the internet. - Split Archives: Allows large files to be divided into multi-volume archives. - Metadata Storage: Capable of storing file permissions and timestamps. - File Extensions: Primarily `.zip`; split archives use `.z01`, `.z02`, and so on. - MIME Type: Recognized as `application/zip`. - Archive Update: Allows adding, modifying, or removing files without recreating the archive. The .zip format is chosen for its effective compression, ability to handle multiple files, and wide compatibility. |
