How do I convert an ARJ archive to a GZ file?

Upload your ARJ file, choose GZ as the output format, and click Convert. Our tool extracts the ARJ archive and compresses the content with gzip. For multi-file backups, the files are first bundled into a TAR archive and then compressed to .tar.gz, preserving the original directory structure. After conversion, download the resulting GZ file.

Why should I convert ARJ to GZ instead of keeping ARJ?

ARJ is a legacy format from the early 1990s that modern operating systems do not natively support. GZ (gzip) is the standard compression format on Linux/Unix and is supported out-of-the-box by Windows through tools like 7-Zip. Converting to GZ ensures your files are accessible across all modern platforms and avoids the need to install legacy ARJ software. Additionally, gzip's DEFLATE algorithm often provides solid compression ratios, making files easier to share.

What happens to file attributes and structure when converting ARJ to GZ?

During conversion, the ARJ archive is decompressed first, and all files are extracted byte-for-byte. File timestamps, permissions, and folder hierarchy are preserved. Then gzip compresses the resulting data stream. Since gzip only handles a single file, multiple files are first packaged into a TAR archive, which retains all metadata and directory structure before compression. No file content is altered during the process.
