Output naming & batch behavior

Filename templateAvailable variables: {output} (converter’s meaningful name), {name}, {target}, {ext}, {index}. Duplicate names receive a safe numeric suffix.

Why use A → B → C?

A pipeline feeds each result directly into the next compatible converter. Use one when the destination needs an intermediate representation or when you want to inspect and normalize that middle format.

JSON → CSV → XLSX turns records into rows before building a workbook.
Markdown → HTML → DOCX resolves markup before creating a document.
SVG → PNG → PDF intentionally flattens vector artwork before placing it on a page.

Only type-compatible next steps are offered. Lossy steps are marked before you run them.

About this conversion

How to convert Files to TAR

Before you start

Drop multiple files or an entire folder. Relative paths are preserved when the browser provides them.

Accepted: any file type · application/octet-stream

Choose multiple files, select a folder, or drag a folder onto the drop zone.
Confirm the detected format. Mixed-format batches are flagged before conversion.
Select “Convert on this device.” Produces previewable TAR text and a correctly named download.

How this converter behaves

Compression and extraction happen against an in-memory file tree with path and expansion limits.

What happens to your data?

The conversion engine runs in this browser tab. OmniCastConverter has no upload API and never sends your content, file name, or converted result to a server.

Fidelity and limitations

This route is classified as lossless. The converter preserves meaning and structure supported by both formats.

No route-specific limitations beyond browser memory and the capabilities shared by both formats.
