What is the TAR-GZ file?
The TAR-GZ file extension can be associated with several types of files. Most often, however, a file with such an extension is associated with the Gzip Compressed TAR Archive format. TAR-GZ files are supported by Mac OS operating systems. The TAR-GZ file is one of the Archive Files files, just like 619 of the other files found in our file information database.

How to open a .TAR-GZ file?
If you have problems opening the file TAR-GZ, then in most cases the problem is only the lack of the proper application installed. Select one of the programs from the list and install it on your device. The operating system should automatically associate the TAR-GZ file format with the installed program. If not, right click on your TAR-GZ file and select from the menu "Open with" . Then select the installed program and confirm the operation. Now all TAR-GZ files should automatically open with the selected program.
