CAB to TAR

Upload a CAB archive and save it as TAR for storage, sharing or compatibility.

CAB is a compressed archive file category format that is native to Microsoft Windows. Accordingly, the developer of this format (the full name of the Windows Cabinet File) is the IT giant - Microsoft. CAB files are system files and are used for Windows installation packages and device drivers. Data from CAB files is used by some Microsoft installers (for example, such as the Setup API, Device Installer, or AdvPack). CAB files contain program components and instructions for the OS to place them. In fact, this is the installer of the program.

TAR is a file format of the archived and compressed categories. The original name this format bears is Consolidated Unix File Archive. Its developer is Jean-loup Gailly. Specialized software packages for Unix are used to create files of the specified format. In fact, this is the generally accepted standard archive file format on a Unix extension system. The direct purpose of TAR-format files is to create file system archives. TAR files store detailed information, from the directory structure to timestamps.
