How to convert 7Z to TAR
- Add your .7Z file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .TAR in a few seconds.
- Download your new .TAR file.
What to expect
- A plain
.tarhas no compression - the output is usually larger than the source.7z. Use.tar.gzor.tar.bz2if size matters. - Encryption is not carried over: if the
.7zwas password-protected, you enter the password during extraction and the resulting.tarwill be unencrypted. - You need enough free disk space for the extracted files plus the output TAR - both exist on disk at the same time during conversion.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting to TAR make the file smaller?
No - plain TAR does not compress, so the
.tar is usually larger than the original .7z. Use .tar.gz if you want compression in the output.Is anything lost when converting 7Z to TAR?
File contents, names, folder structure, and timestamps are all preserved. The 7Z compression method and any encryption are dropped.
Can I convert split 7Z volumes (.7z.001, .7z.002 …)?
Yes - keep all parts in the same folder and open only the
.7z.001 file; 7-Zip and Keka assemble the rest automatically before extracting.Does 7-Zip support TAR output directly?
Yes - in the Add to archive dialog you can select
tar, tar.gz, or tar.bz2 as the output format.
