About Decompression of TAR
A .TAR file (Tape Archive) bundles multiple files together into a single archive file, but does not compress them. It is widely used in Unix and Linux environments for backing up files or preparing packages for distribution.
Using unpk.app, you can extract the contents of a .TAR archive instantly without command-line utilities. Everything is handled directly inside your browser memory, ensuring your code, assets, and data remain strictly local.

Everything you need to know about how unpk.app processes TAR locally.
Is it safe to extract TAR files online with unpk.app?
Yes, extracting TAR files on unpk.app is completely secure. The entire decompression process runs locally in your browser memory via WebAssembly. Your TAR archive is never uploaded to a server, keeping your confidential contents entirely private.
Can I unpack large TAR archives like 5GB or 10GB files?
Yes! There are no artificial file size caps or upload limits for TAR archives. Since unpk.app extracts TAR files entirely within your browser using WebAssembly, you are only limited by your device's physical memory (RAM).

No software installation or browser extensions are needed to open TAR files. unpk.app decompresses TAR archives directly in your browser tab, making it ideal for restricted school Chromebooks or locked-down corporate environments.
Can unpk.app extract password-protected or encrypted TAR files?
Yes! unpk.app supports unlocking password-protected TAR archives locally. Since the password prompt and decryption run completely client-side in your browser, your passwords are never sent over the network or stored on any server.
