What is a .LIF file?

The .LIF file extension stands for a TurboTax Information Archive, but it is also used as a container format by LEGO Digital Designer (LDD). LEGO Digital Designer was a software application that allowed users to create 3D models using virtual LEGO bricks. The .LIF files associated with LEGO Digital Designer are saved in the program's installation directory and include important assets such as different types of bricks and other parts needed to build 3D LEGO models. These files are stored in a special, proprietary binary format that is not readily readable by standard text or data viewers.

Although LEGO Digital Designer has been discontinued, meaning it is no longer updated or officially supported by LEGO, the .LIF files can still be accessed and utilized. To open or extract the contents of a .LIF file, users can use a specific tool called LIF Extractor. This tool is a Python program designed to unpack the data contained within .LIF files, allowing users to access the assets stored in these files.

In summary, if you have .LIF files from LEGO Digital Designer and need to open them, you can use the LIF Extractor program. This tool will help you extract and use the 3D model parts and other assets contained within the .LIF files.
