IMG Files
Explained in Plain English
IMG files are "disk images" which
are common on the Macintosh, but not on Windows. An IMG file contains an exact
copy of every bit of a floppy disk, CD, or DVD. On the Macintosh, they can be
"mounted" just as if you inserted a disk. On Windows, you need to use a program to
open the IMG file. One such program is WinImage,
which will extract the files from the IMG file in the same way you would extract the files from a ZIP,
RAR, or StuffIt archive. (If you know of any other Windows programs that can do this, please let us
know via the support link at the right.) Of course, if you have a Mac handy, you can copy the IMG
file to the Mac, open it, copy out the files, and then copy them back to your Windows computer.
If your IMG file contains a DVD and you just want to burn it, you can save yourself some time by using
ImgBurn, which can burn IMG files directly.
