If you are a digital media professional, then you know that converting files to ISO files is a common task. This is because ISO files are more compressed and easier to manage. To convert DMG files to ISO files on Windows, you will need the following:

  1. A digital media converter such as Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Word.
  2. A Windows computer with an ISO file editor such as 7-Zip or WinRAR.
  3. A DMG file (.dmg) file format.
  4. The necessary software to convert the DMG file format to an ISO file format.
  1. Choose the digital media converter that best suits your needs and install it on your computer. This will allow you to convert the DMG file format into an ISO file format. 2) Open the ISO editor and browse for the DMG file that you want to convert into an ISO File Format. 3) Once you have found the DMG file, click on it and select “Convert.” 4) Once conversion has started, be patient as it can take some time for the conversion process to complete successfully.

The DMG image format is by far the most popular file container format used to distribute software on Mac OS X. Here’s how to convert a DMG file into an ISO file that can be mounted on a Windows PC.

Now use the following command syntax to convert your file:

In my example I want to convert a DMG file on my desktop called random.dmg  and save the resulting ISO in the Documents folder so my command would be:

Note: I am enclosing the paths in quotations because I have spaces in my file paths, they are not required if you don’t have spaces in your file paths.

Once you hit enter your file will be converted.

You can now burn the ISO file to a disk.
