How do I convert a SHAR file to GZ?

Upload your SHAR file, select GZ as the output format, and click Convert. The tool compresses the entire SHAR archive into a .gz file, preserving all content. Then download the converted file.

Why should I convert SHAR to GZ?

Does the conversion preserve the original SHAR archive content?
