Create TAR and TAR.GZ Archives for Software Projects

Packaging build artifacts, config files, and documentation into a single transferable archive is a routine part of software delivery. Deliteful lets you create TAR or TAR.GZ archives from mixed file types in seconds — no CLI required.

Developers regularly need to bundle release artifacts for handoff to DevOps, ship example project files to clients, or package mixed-format assets (JSON configs, CSVs, PDFs) for staging environments. Doing this via command line is fine locally but awkward when you need a quick browser-accessible solution or when non-technical stakeholders need to replicate the process.

Deliteful supports up to 50 files or 2GB per batch, preserves original filenames inside the archive, and lets you toggle GZIP compression on or off. Output is a clean .tar or .tar.gz file ready for SCP, S3 upload, or email attachment.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload your files

    Select up to 50 files — PDFs, CSVs, JSONs, images, DOCX, or spreadsheets.

  2. 2

    Set archive name

    Enter your preferred archive filename; the extension is adjusted automatically based on compression setting.

  3. 3

    Toggle GZIP compression

    Enable for .tar.gz output (smaller size) or disable for a plain .tar bundle.

  4. 4

    Create and download

    Click to generate the archive and download it immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Does Deliteful preserve folder structure inside the TAR archive?
No — files are added flat inside the archive using their original filenames. Nested directory structures are not preserved.
What file types can I include in a TAR archive on Deliteful?
Supported input formats include PDF, XLSX, XLS, CSV, DOCX, TXT, PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, and JSON. You can mix types freely in a single archive.
What is the maximum archive size I can create?
Deliteful supports batches up to 50 files or 2GB total, whichever limit is reached first.
Can I create an uncompressed TAR instead of TAR.GZ?
Yes — toggle the GZIP compression option off before processing and Deliteful will output a plain .tar file.
