RARtoTAR.GZ
Drop your files here
Video, audio, images and documents: MP4, MP3, HEIC, DOCX, PDF and 40 more formats. Several files or a link at once.
Why convert
RAR — WinRAR's archive: it needs WinRAR or 7-Zip to open, and only the paid WinRAR can make one. TAR.GZ is the usual archive on Linux and servers: any system unpacks it with no extra software.
What changes in the file
The files inside do not change by a single byte: the archive is unpacked and packed again, keeping folders and file names. A password, the archive comment and symbolic links are not carried over. A password-protected RAR cannot be unpacked: remove the password in WinRAR before uploading.
Which settings to pick
"Compression": "Normal" suits almost everything; "Smaller file" trims a few more percent but takes longer; "Faster" is for content that is already compressed (photos, video) and will not shrink anyway.
