Questions
How do I convert XZ to TAR?
Drop your XZ file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the TAR downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the archive opener.
Is my XZ file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.
Can I convert several XZ files at once?
Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every TAR inside.
