About creating TAR archives
TAR bundles multiple files into a single archive without compression, the traditional way to package files on Unix and Linux systems. This tool builds a TAR archive in your browser, handy for backups and for tools that expect the tarball format.
Tips
- TAR bundles files but does not compress them by itself.
- It is the standard archive format on Linux and macOS.
- Add all your files, then download the single .tar archive.
