.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.
How it works
- Open Filelathe and drop your file (avoid macOS Finder Recents — use the real folder).
- A dedicated tool window opens for this format.
- 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.
