TGZMaker drastically simplifies the process of creating TGZ archives with custom file order. It even makes it fun!

You just drag in your folder to be archived, change the file orders by drag-and-drop, and drag out the generated archive. That's it, there's no step 4!


TGZ?

TGZ, or .tar.gz, is a file archival format. Basically it's a gzip-compressed tar file.

What's unique about it, is that we can decompress the files on the fly before we finish downloading the archive. This is very useful for newspaper archives. With the files in the correct order, we can begin showing content shortly after beginning download, and we can continue downloading the file while the user is reading the content.


FEATURES

• Create TGZ archives from a folder with custom file order
• Files in subfolders are recursively included in the output
