Nov 03, 2017 Convert ISO Files to DMG Format. On the off chance that you are an OS Geek like me, and on the off chance that you are dependably up for find out. Sep 27, 2009 HOWTO Convert an ISO file to a DMG file with no additional software. This article gives you two ways to convert an ISO file to a DMG file using nothing but your Mac & OS X.
You can convert the image format and encryption of a disk image.
For example, if you create a read/write disk image but later want to prevent changes to the image, you can convert it to one of the read-only disk image formats.
- In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, choose Images > Convert, select the disk image file you want to convert, then click Open.
- Click the Image Format pop-up menu, then choose a new image format.
- Read-only: The disk image can’t be written to, and is quicker to create and open.
- Compressed: Compresses data, so the disk image is smaller than the original data. The disk image is read-only.
- Read/write: Allows you to add files to the disk image after it’s created.
- DVD/CD master: Can be used with third-party apps. It includes a copy of all sectors of the disk image, whether they’re used or not. When you use a master disk image to create other DVDs or CDs, all data is copied exactly.
- Hybrid image (HFS+/ISO/UDF): This disk image is a combination of disk image formats and can be used with different file system standards, such as HFS, ISO, and UDF.
- If you want to change the encryption, click the Encryption pop-up menu, then choose an encryption type.
- Enter a new name for the image in the Save As field, click Save, then click Done.

In most cases iso to dmg conversion is achieved because for Mac users .dmg files might be easier to handle compared to .iso files, but most recent disk management utilities for Mac have no trouble with either of these formats.
However, keep in mind that this won't work if you are trying to convert some Windows program installation disks to Mac one, that is simply not possible.
