How to convert 7Z to TAR.GZ

  1. Add your 7Z archives

    Drop 7Z files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. TAR.GZ is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the TAR.GZ, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The 7Z to TAR.GZ converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your archives are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

7Z to TAR.GZ: what to expect

7z needs extra software on many computers and phones. TAR.GZ is the standard archive on Linux and for source code. 7Z is at home in the smallest archives; TAR.GZ is the usual choice for source code and server backups.

A password-protected archive is refused, since its contents cannot be read without the password.

7Z vs TAR.GZ

7Z

7-Zip archive

7z is the format of the open-source 7-Zip tool. It usually compresses noticeably better than ZIP, at the cost of needing an extra app on many computers.

Opens in 7-Zip, Keka, The Unarchiver, WinRAR; not built into older Windows or macOS

TAR.GZ

Gzipped TAR archive

A .tar.gz (or .tgz) is a TAR archive compressed with gzip. It is the standard way software source code and Linux backups are distributed.

Opens in macOS, Linux and recent Windows; 7-Zip elsewhere

Questions

Are my archives uploaded anywhere?

No. The 7Z to TAR.GZ conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting 7Z to TAR.GZ?

No. The files inside are repackaged unchanged.

Can I convert several 7Z files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert 7Z to TAR.GZ on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the 7Z file, press Convert and save the TAR.GZ. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. An archive can be up to 500 MB, unpack to at most 1 GB and hold up to 50,000 files; beyond those limits the page says so. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
