TAR.XZ provides the best compression among all common Unix archive formats by applying LZMA2 (XZ) compression. Converting an uncompressed TAR to TAR.XZ typically reduces file size by 60-80% for source code and text content. TAR.XZ is now the preferred format for the Linux kernel, Arch Linux, and many major open-source distributions.
Our TAR to TAR.XZ converter applies LZMA2 compression to your TAR archive, creating a highly compressed TAR.XZ file. The LZMA2 algorithm achieves 15-20% better compression than gzip and is comparable to 7Z. The resulting TAR.XZ can be extracted with tar -xJf on modern Linux and macOS systems.
TAR.XZ is natively supported on modern Linux distributions and macOS 12+. On Windows, 7-Zip and WinRAR can extract TAR.XZ files. Major Linux distributions including Arch Linux, Debian, and Fedora use TAR.XZ as their primary distribution format due to its excellent compression ratios.
Convert TAR to TAR.XZ for maximum compression while keeping native Linux/Unix compatibility. The excellent compression ratio makes it ideal for distributing large source code archives. Files are deleted from our servers within 24 hours of upload.
