About the formats

File extension	.tar
Category	Archive/Compression file formats
Developed by	AT&T Bell Laboratories
Mime type	application/x-tar

Format description

Originally used by Unix/Linux, TAR files are archives containing multiple files inside. Also known as tarballs, TARs are similar to ZIP, but they do not have any compression applied. This makes them quicker to create and extract.

However, it is possible to compress TAR files using bzip2, gzip, or xz compression. To do this, convert the TAR file to TBZ2, TGZ, or TXZ respectively.

File extension	.jar
Category	Archive/Compression file formats
Developed by	Sun Microsystems, now Oracle Corporation
Mime type	application/java-archive

Format description

JAR, or Java Archives, are executable Java programs by the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

Please note that MConverter cannot create an executable program if the provided source archive file was not a compiled program for the same platform. When converting from JAR to another format, MConverter only extracts the contents of the JAR file. It does not make it installable in another format.
