This article is a comparison of notable software applications that can access or manipulate disk image files. It compares their disk image handling features.
- 1Comparison criteria
Comparison criteria[edit]
This article compares two features: Supported file formats and capabilities of the software as to how they treat the image format.
Capabilities[edit]
- 'Creates?'
- Specifies whether the application can create a new disc image file, either by capturing the image of an actual disc, by composing a disc image file from locally stored files or an empty disc image.
- 'Modifies?'
- Specifies whether the application is able to manipulate the contents of an existing disc image file, including adding, changing or deleting files within or modifying disc image metadata.
- 'Mounts?'
- Specifies whether the application can emulate an optical disc drive. Such an application treats a disc image file like a virtual disc and virtually inserts it into that emulated virtual drive.
- 'Writes/Burns?'
- Specifies whether the application can write the contents of a disk image file onto a physical media (such as an optical disc, a floppy disk, a hard disk drive or a USB flash drive) and create a physical replica.
- 'Extracts?'
- Specifies whether the application can copy some or all of the files within a disc image file to somewhere else.
Supported file formats[edit]
- 'Input'
- Specifies the types of disc image formats that the application can open.
- 'Output'
- Specifies the types of disc image formats that the application can save to.

Disc images have become more useful than ever on modern PCs that often lack CD and DVD drives. Create ISO files and other types of disc images and you can “mount” them, accessing the virtual discs as if they were physical discs inserted into your computer.
You can also use these image files to burn copies of the original discs later, creating duplicate copies. Disc image files contain a complete representation of a disc.
Windows
RELATED:How to Create ISO Files From Discs on Windows, Mac, and Linux
Windows 10 allows you to mount both .ISO and .IMG disc image files without any third-party software. Just double-click a .ISO or .IMG disc image you want to make available. If this doesn’t work, you should be able to click the “Disk Image Tools” tab on the ribbon and click “Mount.” It will appear under Computer as if it were inserted into a physical disc drive.
If you always choose the same option, you can prevent the dialog from appearing again by clicking the Always Take This Action check box before choosing Yes or No. 12Click Yes or No. Macbook card reader not working. If you select Yes, you can easily find old files as outlined in upcoming sections. Photoshop Elements imports the files into the Media Browser and displays them as thumbnails.
KeePass runs without any additional installation and won't store any settings outside the application directory. Supported operating systems: Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 (each 32-bit and 64-bit), Wine. Kdbx reader for mac.
This feature was added back in Windows 8, so it will also work on Windows 8 and 8.1.
To unmount the disc later, right-click the virtual disc drive and select “Eject.” The disc will be unmounted and the virtual disc drive will disappear from the Computer window until you mount a disc in it again.
To mount ISO or IMG images on Windows 7 — or to mount images in other formats, such as BIN/CUE, NRG, MDS/MDF, or CCD — we recommend the free, open-source, and simple WinCDEmu utility.
Just right-click an image file after installing it, click “Select drive letter & mount,” and you can mount other types of images Windows doesn’t support.
Some other third-party utilities have additional support for emulating various copy-protection technologies, allowing copy-protected discs to function normally. However, such techniques are being phased out and aren’t even supported by modern versions of Windows.
Mac OS X
RELATED:How to Install Applications On a Mac: Everything You Need to Know
On a Mac, double-clicking common disc image formats will mount them. This is why you can simply double-click a downloaded .DMG file to access its contents and install Mac applications, for example.
The DiskImageMounter application that handles this can also mount .ISO, .IMG, .CDR, and other types of image files. Just double-click the file to mount it. If this doesn’t work, Option-click or right-click a file, point to “Open With,” and select “DiskImageMounter.”
When you’re done, just click the “Eject” button next to the mounted image in the Finder’s sidebar to eject it and unmount it — just like you’d unmount a .DMG image when you’re done with it.
You can also try mounting the disc image file by opening the Disk Utility application. Press Command+Space, type Disk Utility, and press Enter to open it. Click the “File” menu, select “Open Image,” and select the disc image you want to mount.
Linux
Ubuntu’s Unity desktop and GNOME include an “Archive Mounter” application that can mount ISO files and similar image files graphically. To use it, right-click an .ISO file or another type of disc image, point to Open With, and select “Disk Image Mounter.”
You can later unmount the image by clicking the eject icon next to the mounted image in the sidebar.
You can also mount an .ISO file or another disc image with a Linux terminal command. This is particularly useful if you’re just using the command line, or if you’re using a Linux desktop that doesn’t provide a tool to make this easy. (Of course, graphical tools for mounting ISO files and similar images may be available in your Linux distribution’s software repositories.)
Mac Iso File Download
To mount an ISO or IMG file on Linux, first open a Terminal window from your Linux desktop’s applications menu. First, type the following command to create the /mnt/image folder. You can create practically any folder you like — you just have to create a directory where you’ll mount the image. The contents of the disc image will be accessible at this location later.
sudo mkdir /mnt/image
Next, mount the image with the following command. Replace “/home/NAME/Downloads/image.iso” with the path to the ISO, IMG, or other type of disc image you want to mount.
sudo mount -o loop /home/NAME/Downloads/image.iso /mnt/image
To unmount the disc image later, just use the umount command:
sudo umount /mnt/image
Some guides recommend you add “-t iso9660” to the command. However, this isn’t actually helpful — it’s best to let the mount command automatically detect the required file system.
If you’re trying to mount a more obscure type of disc image format that the mount command can’t automatically detect and mount in this way, you may need commands or tools designed specifically for working with that type of image file format.
Iso File Reader For Windows
This should “just work” on most modern operating systems, allowing you to mount and use ISO images and other common types of image files in a few clicks. Windows 7 users will have the toughest time, as it isn’t integrated into that older version of Windows, but WinCDEmu is a lightweight and easy way to accomplish this.
