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

Upload your ZIP file to LetsConvert, choose ARJ as the output format, and press Convert. The service decompresses the ZIP contents and rebuilds them as an ARJ archive using ARJ compression, preserving the directory hierarchy. Once the conversion completes, click Download to get your .arj file.

Why would I convert a ZIP file to ARJ?

ARJ often provides slightly better compression than ZIP for certain file types, especially plain text and log files, which can reduce archive size for storage or legacy software distribution. Converting ZIP to ARJ may be necessary when using ancient DOS/Windows applications that natively read ARJ archives, or when migrating from ZIP-based workflows to ARJ-based backup systems.

What happens to ZIP-specific features during conversion to ARJ?

During ZIP to ARJ conversion, the inner files are recompressed using ARJ's compression algorithm. The original directory tree, file timestamps, and read-only attributes are typically preserved. However, ZIP-specific metadata such as Unicode filenames, ZIP64 extensions, or AES encryption are lost because ARJ uses a different header format. If your ZIP contains encrypted files, you must decrypt them before conversion.

Is ZIP-TO-ARJ free to use?

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