Frequently asked questions
What is an IMG file?
IMG is a raw copy of a disk or floppy, sector by sector. Converting it gives you the files stored on it.
How do I open an IMG file?
Archive programs such as 7-Zip open many formats. Without one, open it on our Extract IMG Files page to see what's inside and save the files you need, or convert it to ZIP here: Windows, macOS and Linux all open ZIP files by themselves.
Is converting IMG files free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my IMG files uploaded anywhere?
Files up to 200 MB never leave your device: ConvertKitty runs 7-Zip inside your browser. Only larger files, or formats your browser cannot handle, are sent to our server, over an encrypted connection, and deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The button says "Upload and convert" whenever that happens.
