About XZ Decompression
XZ decompression restores files compressed with LZMA2 algorithm back to their original content. Our tool uses WebAssembly for efficient in-browser decompression, allowing you to extract .xz files without installing software. All processing happens locally for privacy.Before emailing a PDF, open the downloaded copy and check fine text at the intended viewing size. The tool can reduce image detail; its target size is not guaranteed. If forms, signatures or searchable text matter, keep the original PDF.
