How do I convert a BZ2 file to ARJ using LetsConvert?

Upload your .bz2 file. The tool decompresses the bzip2 stream, extracts the original file, and creates an ARJ archive containing that file with its original filename and metadata. For .tar.bz2 inputs, the tar layer is automatically expanded, and all contained files/folders are repacked into an ARJ archive, preserving the directory structure. Click 'Convert' and download the .arj result.

Why should I convert BZ2 to ARJ instead of keeping bzip2?

BZ2 is a single-stream compressor, often used for one file in Unix/Linux workflows. ARJ is a true archival format that bundles multiple files, supports file attributes, and can split across volumes—useful for legacy DOS/Windows environments or transferring to systems that require ARJ. Converting also lets you re-compress with a different algorithm if ARJ yields smaller sizes for your specific data.

How does the BZ2 to ARJ conversion affect file attributes and data integrity?

The conversion is lossless on the unpacked data: we fully decode the bzip2 stream, so no bytes are altered. ARJ stores the decoded file with its filename, size, timestamp, and DOS/Unix attributes (read-only, system, hidden) when the ARJ method supports them. For tar.bz2, we parse tar headers to recreate folders, permissions, and symlinks as ARJ entries, though some Unix-specific permissions may be normalized to equivalent ARJ flags.
