Extract text from Label projects (LBZ)
To convert LBZ Projects to another format, you need Labeljoy or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Label Design Archive" file type, you need software like Labeljoy or a similar tool.
The .LBZ file extension identifies a Label Design Project, a specialized archive format used primarily by Labeljoy and historically by Teklynx Label Matrix. These files act as containers for all the assets required to print professional labels, including vector layouts, barcode metadata, text fields, and linked raster images.
Technically, an .LBZ file is simply a renamed ZIP archive. While this makes the format efficient for storage, it creates a significant problem: you cannot double-click to open it without the specific proprietary software installed. Users often encounter .LBZ files when trying to retrieve old label templates or when collaborating with logistics teams using different software versions. Because the format is proprietary to the labeling niche, it is not supported by standard web browsers or image viewers like Photoshop.
For universal access, the best practice is converting .LBZ files to PDF (for printing and archiving) or JPG/PNG (for quick visual proofing). If you simply need to extract the images or XML data inside, you can rename the extension from .lbz to zip and open it with any archive utility.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LBZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 LBZ converter.
