Why Convert IMG to LZ file?

LZ is a file compressed with lzip, a tool that offers strong, reliable compression, common in certain Linux and archival workflows, while IMG is a disc-image container. Converting IMG to LZ compresses your disc image using lzip, useful when a system or workflow specifically expects an lzip-compressed file, or when you want to shrink a large image for storage.

This is aimed at technical and Linux-oriented workflows rather than everyday use. Because disc images can be large, lzip compression can shrink them, and decompressing restores the original IMG. For broad compatibility a ZIP is more universal, so use it for regular needs. Reach for the LZ format only when a specific system or workflow requires it.
