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

Upload your TAR file, select ARJ as the target format, and click Convert. The tool reads the TAR archive, repackages its contents into an ARJ archive, and provides a download link. No software installation is required.

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

TAR is an uncompressed archive format used for tape backup, while ARJ compresses files to save disk space and is supported by many legacy archiving tools. Converting to ARJ can reduce file size significantly and improve compatibility with older DOS/Windows applications that expect ARJ archives.

What metadata and file attributes are preserved when converting TAR to ARJ?

The conversion retains the original directory structure, file permissions, and timestamps from the TAR archive. ARJ's compression algorithm is applied to the data without altering file content. Note that TAR's Unix-specific ownership attributes are mapped to ARJ's standard fields, so they may not be identical across non-Unix systems.

Is TAR-TO-ARJ free to use?

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

Are my uploaded files safe and secure?

Does this converter work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes! TAR-TO-ARJ 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.
