Create TAR (TAR archive) output from a supported source using this browser workspace. Choose the source format below to open a converter with its own settings, example and output limitations.

## How do I convert a file to TAR?

Open a supported conversion below, select the original file, review the available options and select Convert. Download the result before its temporary job expires. An archive packages files; it does not convert the documents inside it. Inspect filenames, folder paths and total expanded size. Unsupported encryption or resource limits can prevent extraction.
