How to Convert a 7Z File to TAR Online

Try it now: 7Z to TAR →

Some Linux tools and build pipelines expect a .tar file specifically, even if the archive you have is a compressed .7z. Converting handles the format change directly, without manually extracting and repackaging.

When you need 7Z to TAR conversion

• A Linux tool, script, or pipeline expects .tar input instead of .7z
• Standardizing archives into TAR for a system that only handles that format
• Preparing a file for a workflow where TAR is the required container

How to convert 7Z to TAR, step by step

1. Open the 7Z to TAR converter.
2. Upload the .7z file.
3. Click convert.
4. Download the resulting .tar file.

Tips

• The TAR file will likely be larger than the original 7Z, since TAR doesn't compress on its own — that's expected, not an error.
• Double-check contents with the TAR Extractor after converting if you want to confirm everything came through.
• Need to shrink it again? Use TAR to 7Z to compress it back down.

Common questions

Will the converted TAR work with standard Linux tools? Yes — it's a standard TAR archive, readable by tar and any compatible archive tool.

Does converting lose any files or data? No — it's a lossless format change; every file inside the 7Z is preserved exactly in the TAR.

Can I inspect the 7Z before converting it? Yes — use the 7Z Extractor to look through its contents first.
