Extract text from Label design files (LBE)
To convert LBE Label files to another format, you need Teklynx CODESOFT or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Label Design Document" file type, you need software like Teklynx CODESOFT or a similar tool.
The .LBE file extension primarily represents a Label Design file created by Teklynx CODESOFT or Labeljoy. These files store barcode layouts, text fields, vector graphics, and database connection settings used for industrial and commercial label printing. Internally, CODESOFT uses the Microsoft Compound Document format to structure this data. A smaller percentage of .LBE files function as Stream Deck extensions for LioranBoard, which live streamers use to control OBS Studio setups.
Because the .LBE label format is strictly proprietary, it presents significant disadvantages for sharing and archiving. You cannot open these files in standard web browsers, document viewers, or basic image editors. Viewing or editing the barcode layouts typically requires an active, paid license for the original label software. This vendor lock-in makes it highly impractical to share label proofs with clients or vendors who do not own the specific software.
The most practical solution is to convert the .LBE file to a standard format like PDF, JPG, or PNG when you need to share a visual proof. However, standard online converters fail to process these files because the layout rendering engine is closed-source. Often, only the original software can properly read, render, or export the visual data accurately. Since CODESOFT files utilize the Microsoft Compound format, our tool can inspect the file, extract embedded preview images or text, and help you recover raw data even if a full layout conversion is blocked by proprietary encoding.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LBE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted LBEX, LBL, ASICE, LAO, FPB and EZD files.
If you want to convert LBE file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Teklynx CODESOFT or similar software from the "Barcode and Label Design Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to LBE, try Teklynx CODESOFT or another comparable tool in the "Barcode and Label Design Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LBE converter.
