IMG files can serve as an extremely useful backup medium, especially if you are afraid that your originals might one day become corrupted and in many ways they resemble common file formats like ISO or BIN.įinally, you can also use the IMG file as a mountable disk image, which is extremely useful if you have an ultra-thin laptop that doesn’t come with an integrated optical drive. IMG is one of them and they are commonly used to compress programs, such as operating systems, software or video games. Anyone who has burned a disc is probably familiar with most disk image file formats.
