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.
The TXZ file extension is typically found in archive files which are created using a combination of TAR and the XZ utilities. TXZ files contain multiple files which are first archived using Tar and later compressed using the technology of XZ compression. TXZ files are known to be smaller in comparison to TGZ files. From a more basic perspective, XZ utilities compress TAR archive files just like how GZ utilities compress various TAR archives, the only difference being in the compression ratios and the resulting file sizes after compression.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for TAR to TXZ conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload TAR files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized TXZ 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 TXZ audio with dependable progress tracking.
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.
TXZ files work with Slacware 13.0 which is a Linux-based distribution package. They work with most Linux distribution packages which are commonly referred to as "distro." TXZ files can be extracted with zip and unzip application programs. Alternatively, TXZ files can be converted to other formats such as the ISO format.
Upload your archive file in the TAR format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select TXZ 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.
