How to convert iso to dmg file

Converting Disk Image Files to Apple Disk Image format (.iso to .dmg conversion) is quite straightforward since most disk image converters or disk image management software can accomplish that.

Users typically attempt this conversion to enable the compatibility of .iso images in macOS, where .dmg is the preferred file type. Please remember that this will not work for Windows software installation disks, which you cannot convert to a macOS installation package.

Understanding ISO and DMG file formats

An ISO file is a disk image file format that is widely used for distributing large software packages, operating systems, and other data. It is a sector-by-sector copy of the data on an optical disc, such as a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray, and is often used for creating backups or distributing software.

A DMG file is a disk image file format used on macOS systems. It is commonly used for software distribution and installation on Mac computers. DMG files can be mounted as virtual disks, allowing users to access the contents as if they were on a physical disk.

How to convert ISO to DMG

Converting an ISO file to a DMG file can be useful when you need to use the contents of an ISO file on a macOS system. The conversion process involves creating a DMG file that contains the same data as the original ISO file.

Best software for ISO to DMG conversion

One of the best tools for converting ISO to DMG is Disk Utility, a built-in application on macOS. Here’s how you can use it:

  1. Open Disk Utility from the ApplicationsUtilities folder.
  2. Click on FileOpen Disk Image and select your ISO file.
  3. Once the ISO is mounted, select it from the list on the left.
  4. Click on FileNew ImageImage from "[ISO name]".
  5. Choose the desired format (usually read/write or compressed) and save the file with a .dmg extension.

Another option is using third-party software like AnyToISO, which is available for both Windows and macOS. It provides a straightforward interface for converting ISO files to DMG format.
