You do not convert. You zip it!

If you really want to RAR it instead of compressing with any other algorithm, you can use Open Source cross-platform 7-Zip.
See the list of supported formats and features:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7zip[^].
Original Web site:
http://www.7-zip.org/[^].

The only license restriction named is the unRAR restriction, so check the Web site to see what would be your limitation. By that reason, consider using some other format, such as original 7z (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7z[^]).

You can certainly zip them[^].

If you scroll down in the link I've given, you can see a comment on how a user has integrated winrar as well.
