Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers about GZ files and ZIP conversion.
What is a GZ file?
A GZ file is compressed with GZIP. It commonly contains one compressed file and is frequently used for logs, backups, database exports, and Unix or Linux packages.
Is this GZ to ZIP converter free?
Yes. You can convert GZ files without creating an account, paying a fee, or installing archive software.
Does this create a real ZIP archive?
Yes. The tool decompresses the GZIP data and uses PHP ZipArchive to package the extracted file inside a standard downloadable `.zip` archive.
What happens with a TAR.GZ file?
GZIP compression is removed first. Because a TAR.GZ contains a TAR archive inside GZIP, the resulting ZIP will contain the extracted `.tar` file.
Are uploaded files stored permanently?
No. Temporary source and extracted files are deleted immediately. Finished ZIP downloads are automatically removed after 24 hours.
What are the file size limits?
The maximum GZ upload is 100 MB, and extracted data is limited to 300 MB to protect server resources.
