🗜️ Archive Tools

How Archive Tools fit into a file workflow

Archive files are containers for other files. ZIP and TAR differ in how they package data, and converting between archive types can change the container without changing the individual files inside it.

What to check after conversion

Before converting an archive, check its contents and remember that the archive format is separate from the file formats stored inside it. Keep the original archive if it is your only copy of the contained files.
