To convert other file formats to the "Interior Design Archive" file type, you need software like Live Home 3D or a similar tool.
About LHZD files
LHZD files are compressed project archives generated by Live Home 3D, a multi-platform home design application developed by BeLight Software. These files function as portable containers, wrapping the standard project data (.LHZ) along with custom textures, furniture models, and assets into a single ZIP-based package. This compression is specifically designed to facilitate sharing designs between macOS, Windows, and iOS/iPadOS devices without losing linked assets.
The real problem with .LHZD files is their proprietary nature. While the container is a standard archive, the internal data structure is locked to the Live Home 3D ecosystem. You cannot natively open these files in professional CAD tools like AutoCAD or widely used modelers like Blender without first exporting them using the original software. This creates significant bottlenecks when sharing drafts with clients who do not have the app installed, or when attempting to archive designs in a vendor-neutral format. Users frequently find themselves needing to extract the contents or convert the visualization into accessible formats.
For client presentations and static review, converting the project views to PDF (for floor plans) or high-resolution JPG/PNG (for 3D renders) is the standard workflow. For interoperability with other 3D software or for long-term archiving, converting the geometry to OBJ, FBX, or COLLADA is recommended, though this often requires processing the file through a compatible engine to interpret the proprietary scene graph correctly.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LHZD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert LHZD file to ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA, CAB, ACE, ARJ or LHA, you can use Live Home 3D or similar software from the "3D Home Design Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert XXE, 7Z, Z, PAK, LHA, DEB, UUE, TAR, LZH, ZIP, PKG or RAR files to LHZD, try Live Home 3D or another comparable tool in the "3D Home Design Project" category.
The LHZD Converter Story
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 LHZD converter.
