Tools that will help you view TAR files
Sometimes you need to quickly preview the contents of a file with the TAR extension. In such a situation, many people decide to find a tool that, according to its creators, can display the contents of the TAR file and many other types of files (All in One Viewer).
Of course, there are such tools. However, it should be remembered that they may display the data contained in the TAR file differently than the application dedicated to handling the TAR file extension. When you cannot afford to have the data of the TAR file displayed different from the original, you should use the applications developed to work with the TAR file.
Below you will find a list of software programs that will help you with this. These software programs will help you view the content of the TAR file, minimizing possible errors that may arise with other tools.
