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 Project File" file type, you need software like Labeljoy or a similar tool.
An .LBZ file is a proprietary label design project used primarily by Labeljoy and TEKLYNX Label Matrix. Businesses use these files to store dynamic barcode structures, text layouts, pricing data, and embedded graphics for printing physical product labels.
The main disadvantage of the .LBZ format is its strict software dependency. These files are proprietary and cannot be opened natively by web browsers, standard document viewers, or basic image editors. Sharing an .LBZ file with a client or colleague is frustrating because they must purchase and install the exact same label software to view or print the design. Furthermore, they are essentially useless on mobile devices.
To share label designs easily, users need to convert the .LBZ file to universal formats like PDF for high-quality printing, or PNG and JPG for quick digital reviews. However, direct conversion is challenging. Standard online converters fail because the layout algorithms and barcode generation engines are proprietary to the original software, meaning external tools cannot accurately reconstruct the visual layout.
Fortunately, an .LBZ file is internally structured as a standard ZIP archive containing XML data and media assets. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Even though the format is closed, convert.guru can inspect the file and often extract the underlying formats - such as embedded images, logos, and raw text - giving you access to the internal assets without needing an expensive software license.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LBZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted LABEL, DDB and DRL files.

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.
