| TAR.Z Compressed File Archive | N/A | Compressed Files |
The .TZ file is an archive format commonly referred to as TZ (Zipped Tar Archive). The TZ format combines two other popular open source archive formats - Zip and Tar. Files in the TZ format are compressed with the Zip compression algorithm, and internally structured with the tarball format. The primary purpose of the TZ file is to create a single, highly-compressed, self-contained transferable archive file.
The TZ format is often used to package many files together for easy installation or distribution. This makes it ideal for distributing software for different platforms and operating systems. To access files in the TZ archive, users will need an archiving program like WinZip ( WinZip) or 7-Zip ( 7-Zip) to extract or expand the contents to their destination folder or hard drive.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions include TAR,.TAZ,.TGZ, which are formed by combining a tarball with the Gzip compression format instead of Zip.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TZ) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .TZ extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .TZ file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .TZ extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .TZ extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TZ file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TZ file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .TZ file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TZ file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .TZ file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
