Check our videoThe TAR file format is a widely used archival format for storing multiple files in a single container, commonly associated with Unix and Linux systems. It is supported by tools like GNU Tar, 7-Zip, and various file archivers, and is often combined with compression formats like GZIP or BZIP2. The format stores files sequentially with metadata such as permissions, timestamps, and ownership, and supports advanced features like symbolic links, hard links, and sparse file handling.
A TXT (Plain Text File) is a simple and widely used file format that stores unformatted text, making it universally readable across different platforms and devices. It can be opened and edited by basic text editors like Notepad, TextEdit, and more advanced tools like Notepad++, VS Code, or even integrated development environments (IDEs). The format contains only raw text characters, without any embedded formatting, images, or metadata, though it supports basic line breaks and encoding standards like ASCII or UTF-8 for multilingual text.
You can also convert TAR into many other file formats. Please see the complete list below.
