TAR Extractor

Extract standard TAR/USTAR archives in the browser with safe-path normalization and per-file download.

Runs locally. Standard TAR/USTAR regular files and directories are supported; links, sparse/PAX edge cases, encrypted archives, and damaged archives may require a desktop archive utility.

Browser-local file workflow

v10.83 connects ZIP creation/extraction, archive inspection, GZIP, TAR/TAR.GZ extraction, ZIP merging, multi-ZIP extraction, splitting/joining, duplicate detection, renaming, folder summaries, file inventories, and file-type inspection without requiring a file upload where the browser APIs support the task.

Archive and safety boundaries

Browser memory can limit very large files. TAR extraction supports ordinary TAR/USTAR regular files and directories rather than every PAX/sparse/link edge case. Password-protected or uncommon ZIP compression methods can exceed JSZip support. Normalized download paths do not grant arbitrary filesystem write access.

How to use this TAR Extractor

Open a TAR archive locally, inspect its entries, and download regular files without uploading the archive.

  1. Enter, paste, upload, or choose the inputs shown in the tool above.
  2. Adjust the available options for the result you need.
  3. Review the output before copying, downloading, or using it elsewhere.
