LZMA uses lossless data compression along with various algorithms. Been in development since 1996, it was originally used by the 7-zip software for computers like the 7z format. The algorithm uses a dictionary-like compression scheme that has similarities to the algorithm created by Jacob and Abraham Lempel in 1977, the LZ77 algorithm. The LZMA algorithm boasts an increased ratio of compression and a 4-gigabyte variable dictionary sized compression. The LZMA decompression speed is the same as other compression software algorithms.
The .tar filename was originally designed to be used as a TApe ARchiver to store entire file systems and files as single files on tape storage medium. It was designed by AT&T in 1979. Today, the format more commonly refers to an archive or collation of multiple files into a single file with the .tar filename extension. The format is an open source file archive format commonly associated with the UNIX tar command however other data compression tools are capable of effectively compressing and/or decompressing files saved with the .tar file format. Doing so typically adds the compression filename extension to the archive file for example .tar.bz2.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for LZMA to TAR conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload LZMA files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized TAR 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 TAR audio with dependable progress tracking.
LZMA files are used in Linux distribution packages. LZMA files decompress faster than BZIP2 files. The LZMA file format is a container format capable of holding both LZMA data and uncompressed information. LZMA compression methodologies are used for compressing TAR files into TLZ files. TZL files need to be decompressed and then extracted by unzipping programs like 7-Zip.
The tar format is a popular means of digital distribution of multiple files over the internet. It should not be confused with compression/decompression format as tar is merely a tool to collate multiple files together. Combined with other compression tools and formats such as bzip2 or gzip, a tar file can then be compressed or decompressed as needed.
Upload your archive file in the LZMA format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select TAR 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.
