Gzip compresses a single file, not a folder. For archives with multiple files, use TAR.GZ extraction instead.
The decompressed file name is typically the .gz filename with the extension removed (e.g., data.csv.gz becomes data.csv).
Gzip files are commonly used for serving compressed web assets, database dumps, and log files.

A .gz file is a single compressed file. A .tar.gz file is a tar archive (multiple files bundled together) that is then gzip-compressed. Use the TAR.GZ tool for .tar.gz files.

This tool focuses on extraction. To create gzip files, use a dedicated compression tool or command-line gzip.
