There are times when you only need to display the contents of the GZ file. In this case, it is enough that you use the so-called GZ Viewer. Such a program allows us only to display the contents of the GZ file. You have several options to view the contents of the GZ file:

Note, however, that this solution requires you to download and install the software dedicated to handling the GZ file on your device. In this case, it is not possible to view the GZ file online.
