7Z is a archive format: it uses the LZMA2 algorithm to achieve compression ratios 30-70% better than ZIP, with optional AES-256 encryption. ARJ is a document format that stores data in the ARJ format. This extracts the document from the archive so it can be opened directly. 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 ARJ natively or when the target platform only accepts ARJ. 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.
