A TZ file is a compressed archive file generally used on UNIX-like systems. It's essentially a TAR archive compressed with the gzip utility. This format is known by several extensions, including .tz, .tar.gz, and .tgz. There are two steps in this process, starting with the creation of the uncompressed TAR archive, and then compressing the archive with gzip. Often, a TZ file will have a better compression ratio than a similar ZIP archive.
The TZ file format is most commonly used on UNIX-based systems. Users on other operating systems, like Windows might see compatibility issues when working with these files. As such, converting TZ to ZIP can help with the compatibility issues.
Using online file converter tools like uFileTool is usually a very convenient and easy way to convert TZ files to ZIP. It is also possible to complete such a conversion on desktop software like WinZip, however, this is a two step process where first the archive is extracted and then it is zipped again to create a ZIP file. When using the desktop method, it can be difficult to preserve the original directory structure of the TZ. So, it's necessary to take extra care in situations where the structure is important.
