About the FAX format

FAX — Group 3/4 Fax Image

FAX is a generic extension used for raw CCITT Group 3 or Group 4 fax image data files. These files contain compressed monochrome page scans as transmitted by fax machines, and are typically converted to TIFF or PDF for archival and viewing.

Common uses

Fax document archiving and recovery
Converting raw fax streams to viewable formats
Legal and business fax record keeping
Processing fax server received files

About the GZ format

GZ — Gzip Compressed File

GZ is a single-file compression format based on the DEFLATE algorithm, standardized in RFC 1952. Unlike ZIP or TAR, gzip compresses only a single file. It is ubiquitous on UNIX/Linux systems and is used heavily in HTTP content encoding (gzip compression for web pages), log compression, and as the compression layer in TGZ archives.

Common uses

Compressing individual files on Linux/macOS
HTTP content encoding for faster web page delivery
Log file compression on servers
Single-file distribution with good compression
