Tar.gz Viewer

Browse compressed archives and open the text files inside them in VS Code without extracting them first.

Supports .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar, and .gz archives

What it helps you do

Work with complex integration assets more clearly.

  • Browse a filterable list of files in .tar.gz and .tgz archives.
  • Open archive entries in read-only editor tabs with syntax highlighting based on each file extension.
  • View plain .gz files as decompressed text while binary content remains protected from accidental display.
