Formats & limitations

A damaged or protected file, an unsupported codec, a blocked engine download, or limited browser memory can prevent conversion. Try a smaller compatible sample first.

This converter processes file content in your browser. Some formats download extra engine code first; the converter does not upload the file content to that code provider.

This document route rebuilds readable text in the new format. It does not preserve the original page layout, embedded pictures, tracked changes or rich styling. Compare the exported paragraphs with the source before editing or sharing. This route converts cell values rather than a complete workbook. Charts, macros and formatting are not retained. Formulas use cached results or inert text, and date serials may remain numbers. JSON input must be a table-like array of records or rows.

GEEDITOR / TAR → ZIP

About this conversion · TAR → ZIP

Repack a TAR archive as ZIP when the receiving tool needs a different package format. The files inside keep their content; this does not convert the documents, photos or programs stored in the archive.

Archive processing is limited to 1,000 entries, 50 MB per entry and 200 MB after expansion. Encrypted archives, unsafe paths and TAR links or special entries are rejected. A small compressed file can still exceed these limits.

Worked example
Input: TAR → photo.jpg
Output: ZIP → photo.jpg

How to convert

  1. Click “Choose files” and select the original TAR file. Start with one file when comparing settings.
  2. Check that the output selector shows ZIP. The instructions here describe this choice; changing the output can change which settings apply.
  3. Click “Convert files”, then save the result from its file row. “Download all” puts completed files into a ZIP; it does not combine their contents.
  4. Extract the downloaded ZIP with a compatible archive application. Compare file counts, paths and several file contents with the TAR original. Ownership, permissions or timestamps may change during repacking.

Frequently asked questions

Does this also convert the files inside the archive?

No. Repacking changes the archive container, not the files inside it. A photo.jpg inside a ZIP remains photo.jpg after conversion to TAR. Archive ownership, dates and other metadata are not guaranteed to survive.

What should I do when a file exceeds the limits?

Archive processing is limited to 1,000 entries, 50 MB per entry and 200 MB after expansion. Encrypted archives, unsafe paths and TAR links or special entries are rejected. A small compressed file can still exceed these limits.
