Drop CAB 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.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the TAR.GZ, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The CAB 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.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
CAB is a Windows installer format that Macs and phones do not open without extra software. TAR.GZ is the standard archive on Linux and for source code. CAB is at home in Windows installers and driver packages; 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. CAB files are read, not installed or mounted: every file inside is unpacked and repacked into the TAR.GZ, so nothing of the system image or installer is run.
CAB is Microsoft's archive format for setup programs, drivers and updates. A cabinet can be split over several files and holds the data compressed with MSZIP, LZX or Quantum. Windows opens a .cab in Explorer directly.
Opens in Windows (Explorer, expand.exe), 7-Zip and most archive utilities
CAB converterA .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

No. The CAB 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.
No. The files inside are repackaged unchanged.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
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 CAB file, press Convert and save the TAR.GZ. There is nothing to install.
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.
