Upload a .gz file and download the original decompressed file, directly in your browser.
A .gz compresses a single file (unlike .zip or .tar, which group several). This tool reverses that compression and gives you back the original file as-is.
Use cases
- Decompress a log or export (.csv.gz, .json.gz) downloaded from a server.
- Recover a gzip-compressed file on Windows without installing anything.
- Open a .gz that turns out to be a .tar.gz (the result would be the uncompressed .tar).

Frequently asked questions
What if there are several files inside?
A .gz only compresses one file. If the result is a .tar, use "Open TAR" or "Extract TAR" next.
What's the downloaded file named?
The same as the original, just without the .gz suffix.
