Detailed Guide

Understanding GZIP Decompression, Stream Inflation & CRC-32 Verification

Inflating GZIP Streams (.gz & .tgz): Decompressing GZIP files requires parsing RFC 1952 header flags (extracting original filename, modification timestamp, and compression method) and inflating raw DEFLATE data streams back to their uncompressed byte representation.

CRC-32 Checksum & Uncompressed Size Validation: GZIP archives append a 4-byte CRC-32 checksum and 4-byte uncompressed size modulo 2^32 at the end of the byte stream. BunchTool validates these trailing bytes during decompression to detect corrupted archives or incomplete network downloads.

100% Private In-Browser GZIP Inflation: Decompressing server logs, database backups, or web payloads runs entirely in browser memory using native DecompressionStream('gzip') APIs. Unpacked data files are saved locally without external server processing.
