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 .gz filename extension refers to the GZIP file format and compression/decompression utility of the same name which was initially released in 1992. It is the extension given to files compressed using the gzip utility. Unlike other compression tools of the time, gzip was originally intended to be used as a tool to compress a single file as opposed to multiple files or entire directories compressed as a single archive. As a work around, multiple files can be archived using the TAR archive file format, then that single TAR archive would then be compressed using the GZIP format. This would give the file a filename extension of .tar.gz.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for LZMA to TGZ 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 TGZ 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 TGZ 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 GZIP format uses the DEFLATE algorithm for compression. A file in this format consists of a 10 byte header containing the version number, timestamp, and magic number. Other blocks include optional extra header blocks, the DEFLATE payload, and a CRC-32 checksum contained in an 8 byte footer.
Upload your archive file in the LZMA format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select TGZ 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.
