What document types can be included in a Deliteful TAR archive?

Deliteful accepts PDF, DOCX, XLSX, XLS, CSV, TXT, and common image formats (PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP) in a single archive batch.

Does GZIP compression affect document readability when the archive is extracted?

No — GZIP compression is applied to the archive container only. Documents inside are fully intact and readable after extraction.

How many documents can I archive in a single batch?

Up to 50 files or 2GB total per operation, whichever limit is reached first.

Are folder structures preserved for organized record sets?

No — files are stored flat inside the archive using original filenames. Folder hierarchies are not preserved.

Create TAR.GZ Archives for Document Records Management

Records managers and archivists need to consolidate documents from completed projects, audits, or retention cycles into durable, transferable archive bundles. Deliteful creates TAR.GZ archives from mixed document types with no software installation required.

Retention policies often require packaging finalized records — PDFs, spreadsheets, Word documents — into compressed bundles for offsite backup, legal hold, or system migration. Doing this manually or with unfamiliar command-line tools introduces risk and slows down the archiving process.

Deliteful supports up to 50 files or 2GB per batch, preserves original filenames, and outputs standard TAR or TAR.GZ archives compatible with any extraction tool. GZIP compression reduces storage footprint for large document sets, while plain TAR is available when downstream systems require it.
