Extract TAR: help & limits

1. Choose a supported archive.
2. Choose Extract files.
3. Review filenames and download.

Examples

TAR support is limited to POSIX USTAR regular files and folders. PAX, GNU extensions, links, sparse files and encryption are not supported. Paths are checked, but no virus scan is performed. Downloads flatten folders and number duplicate basenames. GZIP processing supports one member, validates its checksum, and requires DecompressionStream for extraction.

Processing stops after 60 seconds. Files and results are held in memory; even within these limits, a low-memory device may fail. Cancel and retry with fewer or smaller files.

Files, names, and extracted contents stay in browser memory. A local worker packages or expands bytes. Reset ends processing and releases file references; it does not securely erase device memory. File contents are not uploaded and there is no server fallback. Website and account traffic is separate from file processing. Downloads remain wherever you save them.
