TZ is a file extension for compressed archive files based on the Unix system and is an acronym for "Tar." Compressed file archives were used back in the days to backup data and write it to magnetic tapes for storage and archival purposes. Files meant to be archived are created using the tar format and later compressed as the TZ file extension.
The .ZIP file extension format is a file archive and data compression format originally developed and released in 1989 by Phil Katz. With compatible zip format software, a file or a group of files can be packed (compressed) into a single .zip archive which can later be unpacked (decompressed). The zip file archive format facilitates the distribution of multiple files as single archives particularly over the internet and networked systems. Many operating systems have native support for the file format and can usually open zip archives without the need for third party software. Microsoft windows for instance has had native support for the ZIP format since Microsoft Windows 98, similarly Apple's Mac OS includes ZIP support through its default archive file handle Archive Utility.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for TZ to ZIP conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload TZ files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized ZIP 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 ZIP audio with dependable progress tracking.
TZ file extensions are used for data archiving purposes and are generally found in Unix-based operating systems such as the Mac OS. TZ files can be opened with most zip and unzip applications. They are also found in software installers. TAR files are first archived and then compressed into the TZ file format. Users must first extract the TZ file to display the TAR archives which must then be again opened to view its contents.
Many other common filename extensions use the ZIP format in one aspect or another, for example JAR, .WAR, .DOCX, .XLXS, .PPTX, .ODT, .ODS, .ODP all utilize the ZIP format. The ZIP format provides for data integrity through the CRC32 specification with support for digital signatures. It also supports multiple compression algorithms but commonly utilizes the DEFLATE algorithm.
Upload your archive file in the TZ format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
