PeaZip free archiver offers
full read /
write support (create, open and extract tar) for uncompressed and
compressed
TAR archives - TAR.GZ archives (same as
TGZ extension), TAR.BZ2 archives
(alternative file extensions TBZ, TB2,
TBZ2), TAR.BR, TAR.ZST / TZST, TAZ, TZ, TAR.Z, TLZ,
TAR.LZ, TAR.LZMA, TXZ, TAR.XZ,
etc... - learn more about files
with multiple extensions - on Linux and Microsoft Windows operating
systems.
Create TAR archive
To add
files /
folders to a new or
into an existing .tar file:
Create
tar file from
the system's file explorer
Create tar
file from
PeaZip free archiving utility
Compress TAR
files
Tar
format does not natively implement compression methods, and needs to
rely on extrenal compressor tools.
Simplest tar compression method: when
adding folders or multiple files to single
file compressors, in example selecting BZip2, Brotli BR, GZip, XZ, or
Zstandard ZST format,
PeaZip
automatically switches on
"Tar before" switch, applying compression to tar files.
Alternatively, compression can be achieved creating tar file first,
then compressing it in a second separate step, selecting any of the
write-supported formats - 7z, arc, pea, zip...
|
Update existing TAR archive
To update a
compressed Tar file (TGZ, TBZ, TXZ, TAR.GZ...) it must be
decompressed before.
Easiest way to edit an uncompressed TAR is opening it with PeaZip
utility and
dragging files/folders to it, which will automatically activate update
mode - can be changed into add mode in advanced tab.
To remove (delete) data from
the archive, select items and press cancel or "Delete from archive"
button. Deleted items will not be recoverable from recycle bin.

How to convert TAR files
Convert button
extracts and re-pack input TAR archive files into any write-supported
format (7z, arc, pea, zip...) - optionally keeping or discarding
original
archives - or convert any existing read-supported archive (7z, ace,
rar, zip, zipx...) to TAR format.
Directly, single-step, converting archive file to compressed tar
archive is currently not supported.
Depending on user's needs, compressed TAR archives (TGZ, TBZ, TXZ, etc)
can
optionally de-compressed before being converted, so individual archived
files gets re-compressed in the new format, otherwise existing .tar
archive will be simply re-compressed as a whole (solid compression).

Open TAR files
To view archive's
content, open tar file in
PeaZip with double click (if file extension is associated with the
application), or using system context menu "Open as archive" entry,
that
will attempt to read any user provided file type regardless file type
associations - this option is also available in PeaZip's context menu.

open and browse archives
Extract TAR files (untar)
UNTAR from Windows system context menu
-
Use context menu entry "Extract..."
for
extraction screen screen where to set
output path and other tar extraction options
-
Select one or more archives and use
context
menu
entry Extract here or Extract
here (to new folder) for quick tar extraction with no further
confirmation
UNTAR within PeaZip free archiver
-
Extract
button shows
archive
extraction screen providing access to all tar extractor options (set
output
path, open output path after extraction, keep or delete original
archives, etc)
-
Extract all to... button activate a
simplified
procedure only asking for output path where to "unzip" content
-
As simpler alternative, drag & drop
extract from tar the desired objects,
from
the
application to the system
To work on a
compressed TAR file (TGZ, TAR.BR, TAR.BZ2, TAR.GZ, TAR.ZST, TBZ,
TXZ...) you will need to
decompress
the tar archive before using aforementioned methods - it is
a two-step non atomic operation.
Read more about how to
extract entire archive(s) and how to extract
selected files from archive.
To extract a spanned (split) TAR file,
save all the parts in the same
directory, then open as usual the first volume of the archive, which
has .TAR.001 extension - subsequent volumes have
progressively numbered file extensions (002, 003 etc).
Tarbomb
term designates a malicious .tar package built to purposely spam
the extraction
path with a large number of files. Tarbomb can be easily avoided
decompressing the tar file using "extract to new folder" option.
|
Apply
encryption to TAR archives
Tar standard does not implement data
encryption, but an existing TAR package
can be made password protected
compressing
it in 7Z, ARC, PEA, or ZIP format, all supporting encryption.
This operation can be performed with PeaZip utility in a single pass
using "TAR
before" option
and
chosing a final archive format supporting encryption.
