How do I convert an XZ archive to LZH?

Upload your XZ file, select LZH as the output format, and click Convert. The tool decompresses the XZ archive (LZMA2) and recompresses the contents using LZSS+Huffman to produce an LZH file while retaining the directory structure and file timestamps.

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

XZ provides superior compression with LZMA2, but LZH is the native format for legacy LHA archivers commonly used in Japan and old enterprise systems. Converting ensures your files can be opened by those tools. Note that LZH typically increases file size due to its weaker compression, but compatibility is the primary benefit.

What metadata and data integrity are preserved during XZ to LZH conversion?

File contents, folder hierarchy, and standard modification timestamps are preserved to the second. LZH supports basic file permissions, so Unix mode bits are converted where possible; however, symlinks and extended attributes are not retained. We verify checksums during conversion to guarantee the extracted data is byte-identical.

Is XZ-TO-LZH free to use?

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

Are my uploaded files safe and secure?

Yes! File privacy and security are guaranteed. Basic conversions run locally in your browser. Files sent for server processing are automatically deleted within 1 hour.

Does this converter work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes! XZ-TO-LZH works seamlessly across iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Linux browsers without installing any app.

Is there any software installation required?

No software or browser extension installation is needed. All conversions are performed directly online.
