Convert IMG to IMZ

Understanding IMG and IMZ file formats

IMG files are disk image files that contain a complete copy of a disk volume, including its file system and data. They are often used for creating backups or for distributing software in a format that can be easily mounted or burned to a physical disk.

IMZ files are compressed disk image files, typically created by the WinImage software. They are essentially compressed versions of IMG files, which makes them more space-efficient for storage and transfer.

Converting an IMG file to an IMZ file involves compressing the disk image. This can be done using specific software that supports both formats. The conversion process reduces the file size, making it easier to store and share.
