    TAR.BZ2: TAR.BZ2 is a TAR archive compressed with bzip2. It compresses better than gzip but is slower.

    TAR: TAR bundles files and folders, including permissions, into one file without compressing them. It's the standard on Linux and macOS and is usually combined with gzip, bzip2 or xz.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will my files change when converting TAR.BZ2 to TAR?
    No. Archive formats are lossless, so every file is restored bit for bit and packed again.
    My TAR.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.
