Convert DMG to ISO file on your Windows 10/11 desktop

You can convert DMG files to ISO file format on your Windows 10/11 desktop by using the DMG2IMG command line utility by following these steps:

  • First, download the DMG2IMG zip file from this link, and extract the zip file to a folder of your choice.
  • Now open the Command Prompt by searching it on the Start menu Search box and navigate to the folder where you extracted DMG2IMG by typing ‘cd’ followed by the folder path. For example, if you saved DMG2IMG files on the ‘C:’ drive inside the ‘Downloads’ folder within the ‘user’ folder, you can type it as follows and press the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard.

cd C:\Users\user\Downloads\dmg2img-1.6.7-win32

  • Then type the following command and press the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard:

dmg2img [DMGFilePath].dmg [ISOFilePath].iso

  • Note that you will need to replace [DMGFilePath] with the file path where your DMG file is stored and [ISOFilePath] with the file path where you want to keep your ISO file. For example:

dmg2img C:\Users\user\Downloads\macOS.dmg C:\Users\user\Downloads\macOS.iso

  • Wait for the conversion to finish.
  • After conversion, you will see a message like ‘* Output image size: 5 GB’ on your Command Prompt window.
  • You can now use the ISO file on your Windows 10/11 desktop.
