Opening a BLZ File
The BLZ file type is primarily associated with Archive Manager.
What is a BLZ file
BLZ files mostly belong to Archive Manager. A BLZ file is not a single standard format but rather a container used by different companies to hold compressed data.
Some instances are Blizzard game data archives that use the GZIP algorithm to store binary log files, often used to save internal game data.
Other BLZ files act as recording files for collaborative sessions created by TeamViewer. For details, visit TeamViewer.
There are also files from Aras Blitz Pro that use an XML structure to hold scene data, sometimes referred to as compressed Aras Innovator files.
Additional uses include Nintendo archive files (which may be handled with tools like NARC Extractor or Nitro Reader) and game archives from the N-Gage platform, which are compressed using proprietary methods (with support from tools like NGagePacker or QuickBMS).
A variant employs the ZIP format for compressed game data archives and can be opened with common extraction utilities; see WinZip for more info.
