The best format depends on compatibility, desired size and whether passwords or additional metadata must be retained. Extracting an archive and converting it into another archive are separate tasks.\nCommon questions\nWill recompressing an archive always reduce its size?\nNo. Already compressed media and existing archives may save little or even grow slightly. Compression method and content type both affect the result.\nDoes successful extraction prove a file is safe?\nNo. An archive can contain harmful or misleading files. Extraction establishes that the contents can be read, not that those contents should be opened or executed.\nContinue your workflow:\nExtract rar\n,\nExtract 7z\n,\nRar to ZIP\n.",

Correct invalid input before retrying; retry server-busy responses with bounded backoff. Returned files contain Base64 data, not persistent download URLs. Decode and inspect the output before treating conversion as successful. See the shared API guide for the complete status and timeout rules.\n\n### Browser-agent workflow\n\n1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.\n2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.\n3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.\n4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.\n5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.\n\nCalls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.\n\n### Planning specification\n\nUnwrap gzip and tar; sanitize paths and limit decompression.\n\nThis describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.\n\n### Complete machine-readable capability record\n\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"extract-tar-gz\",\n  \"category\": \"archive-tools\",\n  \"built\": true,\n  \"requirements\": \"Unwrap gzip and tar; sanitize paths and limit decompression.\",\n  \"implementation\": {\n    \"fields\": [],\n    \"files\": true,\n    \"input\": false,\n    \"accept\": \".tar,.gz,.tgz\",\n    \"note\": \"Supports basic USTAR/TAR.GZ archives; rejects links and unsupported extended headers.

([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/archive-tools/extract-rar.md))\n\n- [Extract 7z](https://happytails.ai/en/archive-tools/extract-7z/): Unpack a 7z archive and download its contents as a ZIP. ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/archive-tools/extract-7z.md))\n\n- [Rar to ZIP](https://happytails.ai/en/archive-tools/rar-to-zip/): Convert RAR files to ZIP with the available format settings. ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/archive-tools/rar-to-zip.md))\n\n## How to use Extract tar gz\n\n1. Choose a file in TAR, GZ or TGZ.\n2. Review the settings, then choose Run Extract tar gz.\n3. Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.\n\n## Working with extract tar gz\n\nArchives package files together, sometimes with compression. The best format depends on compatibility, desired size and whether passwords or additional metadata must be retained. Extracting an archive and converting it into another archive are separate tasks.\n\n## Common questions\n\n### Will recompressing an archive always reduce its size?\n\nNo. Already compressed media and existing archives may save little or even grow slightly. Compression method and content type both affect the result.\n\n### Does successful extraction prove a file is safe?\n\nNo. An archive can contain harmful or misleading files. Extraction establishes that the contents can be read, not that those contents should be opened or executed.\n\nContinue your workflow: [Extract rar](https://happytails.ai/en/archive-tools/extract-rar/), [Extract 7z](https://happytails.ai/en/archive-tools/extract-7z/), [Rar to ZIP](https://happytails.ai/en/archive-tools/rar-to-zip/).\n"
