GZIP is a file archiving and compression tool associated with the .gz filename extension. The utility was first released in 1992 for the UNIX operating system, with the intention of replacing the 'compress' tool that comes bundled with UNIX. Today (2015) the tool exists as a standalone cross platform file archiver. Several archiving and compression utilities exist that support the .gz (otherwise known as gzip) format. The motivation behind the format and utility was to create a capable compression archiving tool that was unencumbered by patents of other compression algorithms that existed at the time, particularly those surrounding the LZW algorithm.
A .jar extension file is a Java Archive format file that is used to store a large number of files into one single file. The basic advantages of .jar extension files are data compression, archiving, decompression, unpacking of the archived file and electronic signing which is one of the advanced features of this format. The Java Development Kit (JDK) contains the Java Archive Tool that is used to perform the basic tasks on .jar extension files. The JAR format is similar to a ZIP file format and it was specifically developed to help download Java applets and its components that include class files, images and sounds in one single HTTP transaction.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for GZIP to JAR conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload GZIP files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized JAR results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent JAR audio with dependable progress tracking.
The format requires that a gzip compatible compressor correctly set identification blocks (ID1, ID2), the compression method, the CRC-32 algorithm to verify the integrity of the archived file, and ISIZE ' the size of the original input. The possible values for compression method is 0 to 7 with 8 reserved for the DEFLATE algorithm which is typically the default method associated with the gzip format.
A .jar file contains the Java source code, a manifest file, XML based configuration data, JSON-based data files, images and sound clips as well as security certificates. These files use a standard compression algorithm and hence can be easily opened by extracting the contents of the file with a standard decompression tool like the tool used to extract .zip extension files.
Upload your archive file in the GZIP format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select JAR as the output format and click Convert. Adjust optional settings if needed.
Download the converted archive file. Each file stays available for up to 5 downloads.
