The .xar extension file is created by versions of Microsoft Excel launched in 2007 and all versions launched after that. This is done when the computer crashes or shuts down unexpectedly following a power failure or due to any unforeseen sequence of events. A .xar extension file is an auto-saved version of the file that the user is working on. It helps the user to recover the work done without it being lost. Thus it saves time and effort in having to do the work all over again. Other associations of the .xar extension file format include files created using the Xara Xtreme Drawing Application developed MAGIX and the Extensible Archive Format Files used on UNIX Platforms as well as by Mac Operating System for routine software installation and browser extensions.
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 XAR to TGZ conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload XAR 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.
Excel automatically saves the file that is being worked by the user at every 10 minute intervals in a .xar extension format. The .xar extension file would be randomly named so it would be best to sort the files in the folder with the Date Modified option and look out for the latest .xar extension file on the list. The Extensible Archive Format that uses a .xar extension is basically used on UNIX platform. It contains either a single or multiple files with or without compression. It consists of a header index based on XML technology that enables an easy search of the contents of the archive.
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 XAR 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.
