TAR.BZ2 applies bzip2 compression to TAR archives, achieving 10-15% better compression than gzip (TAR.GZ). For large archives containing text files, source code, or documents, the size difference can be significant. TAR.BZ2 remains natively supported across all Linux and macOS systems.
Our TAR to TAR.BZ2 converter applies bzip2 compression to the contents of your TAR archive. The bzip2 algorithm uses block-sorting compression that outperforms gzip on most text content. The resulting TAR.BZ2 can be extracted with tar -xjf on any Linux or macOS system.
TAR.BZ2 is supported on all Linux and macOS systems natively. It is used by Debian for some packages and many language runtimes for source distribution. Python (python.org), PostgreSQL, and many other projects offer TAR.BZ2 downloads. On Windows, 7-Zip and WinRAR handle extraction.
Convert TAR to TAR.BZ2 when you need better compression than TAR.GZ and the slower compression/decompression is acceptable. For the best compression, use TAR.XZ. Files are deleted from our servers within 24 hours of upload.
