XZ to TAR

Upload a XZ archive, extract it on the server, and receive a new archive in TAR format. The converter is useful when you need to repackage an archive without installing desktop software.

XZ is a compressed archive file category format developed by The Tukaani Project. The full original name of the format is XZ Compressed Archive. Files of this format are compressed using the LZMA2 algorithm. In its functions, it is similar to the GZIP and BZIP2 formats, since it is used as a container for a single file. A file extension of this format may look like .TXZ or .TAR.XZ. XZ files can be created using the TAR archive compression tool, and as a result, they can contain archives created using highly compressed compression.

TAR is a file format of the archived and compressed categories. The original name this format bears is Consolidated Unix File Archive. Its developer is Jean-loup Gailly. Specialized software packages for Unix are used to create files of the specified format. In fact, this is the generally accepted standard archive file format on a Unix extension system. The direct purpose of TAR-format files is to create file system archives. TAR files store detailed information, from the directory structure to timestamps.
