TAR is a file extension associated with standard Unix data archive format. TAR files are supported on most modern operating systems. TAR doesn’t use any compression, which results in significantly faster packing and unpacking times.
Files with the JAR extension are files of archives compressed in the ZIP package, used by the JRE – Java Runtime Environment programming environment.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the TAR file after converting to JAR may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from TAR to JAR to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting TAR to JAR does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in TAR format, properly converted to a JAR file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file TAR the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of TAR file to other than JAR. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your TAR file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to JAR on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the TAR file in its original format (without conversion to JAR file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
