Unlike macOS, Windows can’t run DMG at all. Instead, you will find DMG or IMG format. As macOS can run ISO however, doesn’t give options to create one too. It is totally wrong to state that macOS doesn’t support ISO files. On other hand, DMG has a great compression algorithm and encryption options.įor using ISO, Windows and Linux are great platforms, whereas DMG is working great on macOS. The ISO file format is great for mounting disk image files or sending them online. ISO is mostly used on Windows OS and is even used for virtualization purposes. Whereas, ISO or International Organization for Standardization is mostly used on CD/DVD. DMG or Dual Master Guide aka Disk Image is a file format that is used to share compressed image files.
