About GZIP Extractor

GZIP Extractor decompresses single .gz files and gives you back the original file – for example server logs, CSV or JSON exports and SQL database dumps. GZIP compresses one file at a time, so the result is exactly the file that was packed.

Frequently asked questions

Decompress GZ and GZIP files online. Restore the original file name stored in the header and download the result – fast, free and done in your browser.

What about .tar.gz files?

Use the TAR.GZ Extractor to open archives that contain several files.

Is the original file name restored?

Yes, when the GZIP header stores it.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Decompression runs in your browser.

How is GZIP different from ZIP?

GZIP compresses a single file and is common on Linux servers and the web; ZIP can hold many files and folders in one archive.

Why is the extracted file so much bigger?

Text-based files such as logs and CSV exports compress very well, so they are often five to ten times larger once decompressed.
