About GTAR files

GTAR files, short for GNU Tape ARchive, are a type of archive file format commonly used on Unix-based systems for bundling files together. As a variant of the traditional TAR format, GTAR files are widely used for software distribution and backup purposes. However, working with GTAR files can present certain challenges, particularly in terms of compatibility and ease of use across different operating systems.

To convert GTAR files into more manageable formats, users can rely on a variety of software tools. For instance, 7-Zip and WinRAR are popular choices for Windows users. Mac users often turn to Keka for similar functionalities. These tools allow conversion to formats like ZIP, TAR, and GZ, enhancing compatibility and accessibility.

While converting GTAR files, users should be mindful of potential data integrity issues and the preservation of file permissions, particularly when moving between different operating systems. Missteps in conversion could lead to data loss or corruption, posing significant challenges for users unfamiliar with these technical intricacies.

Despite the availability of software solutions, these methods can be cumbersome, requiring installation and a degree of technical know-how. This is where the convenience of Convert.Guru becomes apparent. By simply dragging and dropping your GTAR files onto the website, you can effortlessly convert them into a variety of formats, such as ZIP, TAR, and GZ, without the hassle of manual software management.

The GTAR Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best GTAR converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
