How do I convert an LZH file to XZ?

Upload your LZH archive to the converter. Then select XZ as the output format and start conversion. Our tool extracts the contained files and repackages them into a single XZ file using LZMA2. After conversion, download the compressed .xz file. All original folder structure is preserved.

Why should I convert LZH to XZ instead of keeping LZH?

LZH is a legacy compression format from the 1980s, mainly used on Japanese systems. XZ is a modern format using LZMA2, which typically achieves 30-40% better compression than LZH. XZ is widely supported on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and is better suited for archiving and distribution.

Does LZH to XZ conversion preserve file metadata?

Yes, the conversion process preserves file contents, timestamps, and Unix permissions. However, LZH-specific metadata such as DOS file attributes (hidden/read-only) may not be transferred to the XZ container. For most users, files and folder structures remain exactly as they were.

Is LZH-TO-XZ free to use?

Yes, LZH-TO-XZ on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.
