Why Convert ISO to TAR file?

An ISO is a disc image holding the full contents of a disc, while TAR is an archive that bundles files together, common on Linux. Converting ISO to TAR extracts the contents of the disc image and packages them into a tar archive, useful when you want the files bundled in a Unix-friendly form rather than as a disc image.

This is aimed at Linux and technical workflows rather than everyday use. Extracting the TAR restores the files that were inside the disc image. Keep in mind that TAR does not compress by itself; it is often paired with gzip. If you specifically need a disc image to burn or mount, keep the ISO, but to work with its contents as ordinary files, converting to TAR helps.
