Tool usage guide
The TAR.GZ Archive Preview tool allows you to inspect the contents of compressed TAR.GZ or TGZ files instantly without needing to extract them to your local storage.
Background
An administrator has a 200MB server backup file and needs to confirm it includes the 'config/' directory before restoring it.
Problem
Extracting the entire archive takes too long and consumes unnecessary disk space.
How to use
Upload the backup.tar.gz file to the preview tool.
Outcome
The tool displays the full file tree, allowing the administrator to confirm the presence of the 'config/' folder in seconds.
Background
A developer created a compressed build package and wants to ensure the 'dist/' folder contains the correct minified assets.
Problem
Manually extracting the package to check the file list is inefficient during the CI/CD verification process.
How to use
Upload the build.tgz file to the tool to view the file list.
Outcome
The developer sees the list of files, confirming that all necessary assets are correctly bundled in the archive.
No, the tool handles the processing on the server side using the necessary 7zip commands.
No, the tool only reads the file metadata and directory structure; no files are extracted or saved to your disk.
Yes, the tool supports files up to 500MB to ensure stable and fast performance.
This tool provides a list of the files and folders within the archive, but it does not open or display the content of individual files.
This tool is specifically optimized for TAR.GZ and TGZ archive formats.
