Often referred to as tarball, TAR.GZ is a special type of archive that was initially created on Unix platforms and is typically compressed using gzip compression method.
Unlike the ZIP archives, the TAR.GZ ones have been compressed as a whole, instead of each contained item being compressed individually.
When users want to access TAR.GZ files, they will need to rely on a specialized archiving application.
These utilities will enable users to extract the contents of their TAR.GZ archives to the folder they choose.
