    BZ2: BZ2 is a single file compressed with bzip2. It compresses better than gzip and is often used for data dumps.

    TAR.XZ: TAR.XZ is a TAR archive compressed with xz (LZMA2), giving the best compression of the TAR family. Linux kernels and distributions use it.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will my files change when converting BZ2 to TAR.XZ?
    No. Archive formats are lossless, so every file is restored bit for bit and packed again.
    My BZ2 is password-protected — can I convert it?
    Yes. Enter the password when asked. You can also set a new password on the output (ZIP and 7Z).
    Is there a size limit?
    No fixed limit. It depends on your device's memory: several GB on computers, a few hundred MB on phones.
    Are my files uploaded?
    No. Everything runs in your browser with 7-Zip compiled to WebAssembly.
