What's the difference between TGZ and XZ?

Tar Gzip Archive is compressed tar archive using gzip — the standard linux archive format. XZ Compressed is high-ratio compression format using lzma2 algorithm. Key difference: Tar Gzip Archive excels at most common archive format on Unix/Linux systems, while XZ Compressed offers best single-file compression ratio, excellent for software distribution.

How does the TGZ to XZ conversion work technically?

Xonvert uses WebAssembly-compiled libraries to decode your TGZ file in-browser, process the archive data, and re-encode it as XZ. All processing happens on your device's CPU.

What happens to my files after conversion?

Nothing — your files exist only in your browser's memory during conversion. Once you close the page, all data is cleared. No files are stored anywhere.

Will the conversion strip my EXIF or metadata?

Xonvert preserves metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3, etc.) when the target XZ format supports it. You can optionally strip metadata in the settings for smaller, cleaner output files.

Does the conversion preserve metadata?

Xonvert preserves compatible metadata fields when converting between formats. Some format-specific metadata may not carry over if the target format doesn't support it.
