What is a XZ file?
XZ is a compression format that uses the LZMA2 algorithm. It’s known for high compression ratios and is used primarily in Unix-like systems for distributing software packages and archives.
Unlike ZIP or GZ, XZ is focused purely on compressing single files. It's often paired with TAR to create compressed archives with the .tar.xz extension.
How to open XZ files
XZ files can be opened using 7-Zip, PeaZip, and command-line tools on Linux like xz and tar. They are often used to distribute compressed source code.
Use AnyConv to convert XZ archives to a more universal format or to extract files online.
