Converting GZ to 7Z gives you the same content in a different container. It runs in your browser: nothing is uploaded, there is no queue and no size limit.
What changes when you convert GZ to 7Z
- Both formats are lossless: nothing in the picture or sound changes, only the container and the compression.
- Every file is extracted and re-packed; folder structure and file names are preserved. Password-protected archives cannot be converted.
When to convert, and when not to
Convert to 7Z for shrinking large archives. Better compression than ZIP. Needs 7-Zip or similar to open.
Keep GZ for Linux downloads and backups. Gzip compression, usually wrapping a TAR.
How to convert GZ to 7Z
- Drop your GZ file on the converter above, or click to choose. Several at once is fine.
- Check the options if you need them: there are none for this pair, it just works.
- Click Convert, then Download. Nothing was sent anywhere, your browser did the work.
Questions
Is my GZ file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser with WebAssembly. There is no upload endpoint on this site. You can open your browser's Network tab, or go offline after the page loads, and it still works.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed one. The limit is your device's memory: a large archives file on a phone is slower than on a laptop, but nothing is rejected for being big.
Is it free?
Yes, without an account, without a daily cap and without a watermark. Your device does the computing, so there is no server bill to pass on.
Will the quality drop?
No. 7Z is lossless: the archives content is stored exactly.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Drop them all; each is converted in turn and you can download them one by one or as a single ZIP.
Which engine does the conversion?
Archive engine (libarchive), compiled to WebAssembly and running in your browser. First use downloads about 1 MB, cached afterwards.
