What is a .TGZ file?

tgz file icon

TGZ files are compressed archive files that combine the TAR (.tar) archive format and GZIP (.gz) compression format. The TAR format first groups multiple files into a single archive, and GZIP then compresses that archive to reduce its file size. Developers and system administrators often use TGZ files to package source code, configuration files, and software distributions, especially in Unix- and Linux-based environments.

You may acquire TGZ files by downloading open-source software packages, exporting project backups, or receiving compressed archives from colleagues or team members. File Viewer Plus can navigate the contents of the archive and extract individual files or the entire archive.

Alternate file extensions: .tar.gz
