How to Convert XZ to File Online
Turning a XZ file into File is straightforward here — upload, convert, download. Your file is processed privately in memory and deleted the instant the File is ready.
Drag and drop your file into the upload area, click to browse your device, or paste a URL to a file hosted online. You can upload files up to 250 MB and batch convert up to 20 files at once.
Once uploaded, the conversion from XZ to File starts automatically. The process runs entirely in an isolated environment - your data never leaves the secure pipeline.
Your converted file is ready instantly. Click the download button to save it to your device. The file is deleted from memory immediately after download.
A more private way to convert XZ files
Plenty of sites convert XZ files. Very few promise never to keep them — PrivConvert does, and backs it up with how the service is built.
Every conversion runs in its own locked-down process with no network access, so files can never leak or interfere with one another.
Your files are handled entirely by automated code. No staff, partner or AI model ever reads, stores or trains on your data.
Files are processed in volatile memory (RAM) and purged the instant your download is ready — nothing is ever written to disk, cached or backed up.
Every upload and download is protected with TLS 1.3, so your archive cannot be intercepted on the way to the server or back to you.
