Extract text from LazPaint images (LZP)
To convert LZP images to another format, you need LazPaint or other Raster Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Layered Graphic Document" file type, you need software like LazPaint or a similar tool.
The .LZP file format is a layered image project file created by LazPaint, a lightweight, open-source raster image editor developed using the Lazarus IDE and the BGRABitmap library. It stores unflattened multi-layered raster graphics, vector shapes, text elements, opacity settings, and specific blend modes used during the editing process.
To natively open, view, or edit an .LZP file, you must use LazPaint. The primary disadvantage of the .LZP format is its severe lack of interoperability. You cannot view .LZP files in web browsers, standard operating system image viewers, or mainstream professional tools like Adobe Photoshop. If you send an .LZP file to a client, developer, or colleague, they will almost certainly be unable to open it without installing the specific software.
Users typically need to convert .LZP to universally supported, flattened raster formats like PNG (for lossless web usage) or JPG (for smaller, compressed file sizes). Note that exporting to these formats flattens the image architecture, meaning you lose all layer separation and non-destructive editability. For continued layered editing outside of LazPaint, exporting to PSD or OpenRaster (ORA) is recommended if supported by your version.
This file format is difficult to open or convert online because it uses a highly specific, application-dependent binary structure. Standard online converters almost always fail because they lack the BGRABitmap rendering engine required to parse and composite LazPaint's unique layer blending and vector properties. Emphasizing this reality: often, only the original software can properly render or export the graphical data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded preview thumbnail, viewing or partial conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LZP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ZIP files.
If you want to convert LZP file to JPG, PDF, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP, ICO, CUR, PSD or PSB, you can use LazPaint or similar software from the "Layered Image Project Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to LZP, try LazPaint or another comparable tool in the "Layered Image Project 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 LZP converter.
