What is a .DMG file?
DMG files are disk images that contain compressed software installers used to distribute and install applications in the Apple macOS operating system. The files replaced IMG files when Apple launched Mac OS X in 2001 and are still commonly used today. For example, macOS users often download DMG files from the Internet and then double-click them to begin installing a program. When a DMG file is opened, it mounts a virtual disk on the desktop to install the program.
You will likely not encounter DMG files in Windows since they are specific to Macs. However, File Viewer Plus can extract the contents of a DMG file, much like a ZIP archive. This feature is especially useful if you are looking to examine or modify the contents of a DMG file.
