Extension | TAR |
Full Name | TAR |
Type | Archive |
Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
Format | Binary |
A TAR file, short for Tape Archive, is a type of computer file format used for archiving and bundling multiple files together into a single file. It is often used in Unix and Unix-like operating systems but can be found and used on other platforms as well. The TAR format does not perform compression by itself; it simply collects multiple files and directories into one unit, maintaining their individual properties such as file permissions, timestamps, and ownership information. Because of this, TAR files are commonly used as a container for transferring and storing files while preserving their original attributes.
When creating a TAR file, all the specified files and directories are gathered and stored sequentially in the archive, which is later used for distribution, backup, or transportation. The TAR format is particularly useful for creating backups, as it enables easy preservation of directory structures and metadata. However, since TAR files are not compressed, they tend to be larger than their compressed counterparts like ZIP or GZIP archives. As a result, it is common to combine TAR files with compression algorithms (like GZIP or BZIP2) to create compressed TAR archives (e.g., .tar.gz or .tar.bz2) that reduce file size while maintaining the original structure and information.
Extension | GLB |
Full Name | Graphics Language Transmission Format |
Type | 3D Model |
Mime Type | model/gltf-binary |
Format | Binary |
Opens With | Blender, MeshLab |
A GLB file, short for "Graphics Library Binary," is a widely used file format in the realm of 3D graphics and virtual reality (VR) applications. It is a binary version of the popular 3D file format called GLTF (Graphics Library Transmission Format). The GLB format efficiently encapsulates 3D model data, textures, and animations into a single file, making it easy to share and load complex 3D scenes seamlessly across various platforms and software.
GLB files are essential for web-based 3D applications as they enable faster loading times and better performance compared to traditional formats. By packaging all the required assets into a single binary file, it reduces the number of HTTP requests necessary for loading the 3D content. Furthermore, GLB files use binary data, which takes up less space and can be parsed more quickly by applications, providing a smoother user experience for 3D web applications and VR experiences.
One of the key advantages of the GLB format is its compatibility with a wide range of devices, platforms, and 3D software. This cross-platform support allows 3D artists, game developers, and designers to create content in their preferred tools and easily distribute it without worrying about compatibility issues. As a result, GLB has become the de facto standard for delivering 3D content on the web and has played a significant role in driving the adoption of 3D graphics in various applications, including e-commerce, education, entertainment, and more.
Our TAR archive converter will examine the contents of your TAR file and will look for any 3D model file that it may contain and this, once found, will be extracted and converted to a 3D GLB file ready for download.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your TAR file to upload. Your TAR file will be uploaded to our servers. When the TAR to GLB conversion has completed, you can download your GLB file straight away.
We aim to process all TAR to GLB conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development with new features being added every week.
