About TAR Files
TAR (Tape Archive) is a common file format used in Unix-like systems for collecting multiple files into a single archive file. Unlike ZIP, TAR itself doesn't provide compression, but it's often used with compression algorithms like gzip (creating .tar.gz files) or bzip2 (creating .tar.bz2 files).

- Open and extract TAR files without installing software
- Process compressed TAR archives (TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2)
