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

Upload the ARJ file to the converter, select TAR as the output format, and click Convert. The system extracts the archive's contents and repackages them into a standard TAR container while preserving the original folder structure and file metadata. Once complete, click Download to save the .tar file.

Why should I convert ARJ to TAR instead of keeping the ARJ file?

TAR is an open, widely supported archive format on Linux, macOS, and Unix systems, whereas ARJ is proprietary and requires third-party software. Converting to TAR lets you use built-in tar utilities, automate backups with cron, and share archives across servers without legacy dependencies. Note that TAR is uncompressed, so the output file will be larger than the ARJ input.

Does ARJ to TAR conversion preserve file permissions, timestamps, and directory structure?

Yes, the conversion retains the exact directory hierarchy, Unix permissions, and modification times for every file. The binary content of each file is unchanged—only the container format changes. However, ARJ-specific features such as compression and encryption are stripped, so password-protected archives must be decrypted before conversion.

Is ARJ-TO-TAR free to use?

Yes, ARJ-TO-TAR on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.

Are my uploaded files safe and secure?

Yes! File privacy and security are guaranteed. Basic conversions run locally in your browser. Files sent for server processing are automatically deleted within 1 hour.

Does this converter work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes! ARJ-TO-TAR works seamlessly across iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Linux browsers without installing any app.

Is there any software installation required?

No software or browser extension installation is needed. All conversions are performed directly online.
