Filelathe

.tar · Tar archive

Inspect .TAR files in your browser

Open TAR files in your browser. List archive members and open any entry — parsing runs locally in your tab.

Open in Filelathe

How it works

  1. Open Filelathe and drop your file (avoid macOS Finder Recents — use the real folder).
  2. A dedicated tool window opens for this format.
  3. Use the on-page controls to view or edit.

Filelathe parses ustar/posix tar headers in the browser, lists members with sizes, samples small text files, and opens any entry in its own window. No upload, no extract-to-disk.

Privacy

File bytes are read in your browser for viewing and playback. Unlike upload-to-convert sites, Filelathe is built around in-tab tools. API calls may use filename, type, and small samples to choose or invent a UI.
