What does the ARJ Converter do?

ARJ is often seen as a “legacy” archive format from the 90s. Since there is not always built-in support on modern devices, it can cause the “I can’t open it” problem.

This tool reads the .arj file extracts the content and repackages it in the selected target format (repack).

Operation logic:

  • Extract ARJ content
  • Preserve file names and folder structure
  • Create target archive (ZIP/7Z/RAR/TAR/…)

It is known that tools like WinRAR can open ARJ; this confirms that the format is an “extractable” legacy archive.  

Supported conversions (central page scope)

  • ARJ to 7Z
  • ARJ to RAR
  • ARJ to TAR
  • ARJ to TAR.BZ2
  • ARJ to TAR.GZ
  • ARJ to ZIP

Which format should I choose?

This section enhances conversion; because the user often does not know what “output” to choose.

  • ZIP: The widest compatibility. Default for sharing, customer submission, and team use.
  • 7Z: A modern archive standard. A good option for those who want to update the archive standard.
  • TAR: Not compression but packaging. Quickly produces packages in Linux workflows.
  • TAR.GZ (TGZ): One of the most common compressed package formats in Linux and server transfers.
  • TAR.BZ2 (TBZ2): TAR + bzip2; aims for smaller output in some content, generally slower.
  • RAR: Delivery standard in some institutions. (RAR production depends on your infrastructure; if you support it, provide it, otherwise disable the option and give a clear message.)

Tool flow (single interface)

  1. Upload ARJ (drag and drop / file select)
  2. The tool analyzes:
    • file list + folder tree
    • total size
    • password requirement (if any)
  3. Select target format (7Z/RAR/TAR/TAR.BZ2/TAR.GZ/ZIP)
  4. (Optional) settings:
    • compression level (fast/balanced/maximum)
    • protect with password (target archive)
    • output file name
  5. Convert
  6. Download (single file output)

Settings (detail requirements on central page)

Compression level

  • Fast: time priority
  • Balanced: default recommendation
  • Maximum: size priority, takes longer

Password protection (optional)

  • Encrypts the target archive (if ZIP/7Z/RAR is supported)
  • Password verification required
  • Warning “If you forget the password, you cannot open it” is required

Preserve folder structure

Should be open by default. If the folder structure is disrupted in corporate deliveries, the archive becomes worthless.

Output name standard

Recommendation: originalName_format.ext

Example: project_zip.zip, backup_targz.tar.gz

Error messages (reduce support costs)

  • Password required: “The archive is password protected. Enter the password to continue.”
  • Incorrect password: “The password is incorrect. Please try again.”
  • Archive corrupted/missing: “The file is damaged or has been downloaded incompletely. Please re-download and try again.”
  • Unsupported output: “The format you selected is not currently supported. Try ZIP or 7Z.”

FAQ

What is an ARJ file?

It is an old/legacy archive format; modern systems may not always have built-in support.  

Does the size definitely shrink?

No. It varies depending on the type of content. The main value is often compatibility and standardization.
