UUE is a document format: it stores data in the UUE format. 7Z is a archive format that uses the LZMA2 algorithm to achieve compression ratios 30-70% better than ZIP, with optional AES-256 encryption. This packages the document into a compressed archive for smaller transfer size. Metadata such as creation date and embedded colour profiles is preserved where the target format supports it. Converting between these two formats is common when the source application does not support 7Z natively or when the target platform only accepts 7Z. 1converter processes this conversion server-side using open-source tools. Files are transferred over HTTPS, converted on secure cloud servers, and automatically deleted after 24 hours.
