How to use it
- Choose a .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar or .gz, or drop it on the box. The files and folders inside are listed with their sizes and dates.
- Press "Save" on a file, tick several and save them, or "Extract into a folder" (nothing ticked = everything).
- Or press "Save as a ZIP" for one ZIP that Windows opens with a double-click.
Good to know
- Supported: .tar (ustar, GNU and pax, long names and files over 8 GB included), .tar.gz, .tgz and a single-file .gz (with its original name when the file kept it). .tar.bz2, .tar.xz, .7z and .rar are not supported, and the tool says so.
- Links (symlinks, hard links) and device files in a TAR are skipped, as a browser cannot make them. File permissions and owners are not kept.
- "Extract into a folder" works in Chrome and Edge on a computer; names that try to leave the folder (../) are always cut. Other browsers and phones save files one by one or as a ZIP.
- The unpacked files are held in the browser's memory while you work; over about 2 GB it may not be enough, phones especially.
- For .zip files use Extract a ZIP; to make a .tar.gz use Create a TAR.GZ.
Your files stay on your device
Everything runs in your browser. The file is not sent to freesabai's server or anyone else's, and nothing is kept in the browser: close the page and it is gone. The site only counts that this page was opened and how many times a result was saved (never the file name or content; you can turn counting off at the bottom of the site, see the privacy policy).

Questions and answers
How do I open a tar.gz file on Windows?
Choose the .tar.gz or .tgz file on this page to see the files inside, then save them one by one or all as a ZIP, which Windows opens by itself. Nothing to install.
Can it open .tar.xz, .tar.bz2, .7z or .rar?
Not yet. It opens .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz and .gz; other kinds are reported as not supported. Use 7-Zip, which is free.
Why can some entries not be saved?
Links (symlinks and hardlinks) and device files in a TAR only mean something on Linux or a Mac, so they are skipped and marked in the list. Ordinary files all save.
