How it works
Add your ZIP file. MimiFile checks the format, converts it to TAR, and provides a temporary download when the result is ready.
Convert ZIP to TAR when a Unix, container, packaging or backup workflow expects a tar archive.
ZIP → TAR
Drag and drop, paste a file, or browse your device.
Files are temporary and deleted automatically.
Limits: 90 MB per file · 128 MB total per batch.
Add your ZIP file. MimiFile checks the format, converts it to TAR, and provides a temporary download when the result is ready.
Repacking changes the archive container. A TAR output cannot recreate permissions, ownership or symbolic-link information that was not present in the ZIP source.
Current source limit : 90 MB per file. Up to 10 files can be submitted in a batch, subject to the global batch ceiling.
TAR is common in Unix tooling and packaging pipelines and is often used before applying a separate compression layer such as gzip or xz.
TAR primarily combines files into one archive. A .tar file is not automatically gzip-compressed, so output size can differ substantially from the ZIP source.
The result is produced as TAR (application/x-tar). Features unsupported by the destination format cannot be preserved.
Use this when a service, device or workflow accepts TAR but your source file is ZIP.
The downloaded file uses TAR. Check the result if the source contains transparency, animation, embedded fonts, metadata or other format-specific features.
