Got a 7z that a build pipeline needs as tar.gz?
From the Windows power-user format to the Unix standard bundle, restructured in one pass.

- ServesCI, containers, scripts
- ProducesA standard .tar.gz
- CompressionGzip-level, looser than 7z
- In-memoryLocal, one pass
Dependency drops, asset bundles and tool distributions sometimes arrive as 7z when the pipeline consuming them, CI jobs, deployment scripts, container builds, speaks tarball. The repack here bridges that: contents unpack in memory and rebuild as a gzip-compressed tar with the layout untouched. Compression lands near gzip's norm, looser than 7z managed. Encrypted archives are turned away with an explanation, and the whole exercise stays inside your browser.
Questions
Why do pipelines prefer tarballs?
Decades of Unix convention: tar streams, composes with other tools, and every base image and CI runner handles it without thought.
Is the file data modified?
Never; the same bytes are re-bundled under different packaging.
Limits to know?
In-memory unpacking warns on very large archives, and password-protected 7z files cannot be read.
