Convert a file to LBX

To convert other file formats to the "Label Template" file type, you need software like Brother P-touch Editor or a similar tool.

About LBX files

The .LBX extension primarily refers to the label layout files created by Brother P-touch Editor. These files are used to design and store label templates containing text, barcodes, images, and formatting frames for Brother label printers. Technically, modern Brother .LBX files are often ZIP containers holding XML data (label.xml and prop.xml), making them partially accessible to power users who rename the extension to .ZIP. However, for standard users, they are a proprietary "locked" format that requires the specific manufacturer software to view or edit correctly.

A secondary, legacy use of the format is the Visual FoxPro Label file. These are binary database files used to define label printing layouts in older Microsoft database applications. The dual nature of this extension causes frequent compatibility errors, as opening a FoxPro database file in Brother software (or vice versa) will fail.

Common Conversion Needs:

For Approval & Viewing: Users often convert .LBX to PDF or JPG so clients and colleagues can proofread label designs without installing P-touch Editor.
For Data Recovery: Since Brother files contain XML, converting or extracting to CSV or XML is useful for retrieving bulk data like barcode lists.
For Archiving: Converting legacy FoxPro layouts to PDF/A ensures the design is preserved even after the software is discontinued.

Convert.Guru analyzes your LBX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted PDF, ZIP, LBL, LABX, JPG, LBXS, PNG, LBLX, LBT, XLSX, LBXLLS, DOCX and TXT files.
