Toast files are image files created with Roxio's Toast Titanium for the Macintosh operating system. Converting the image file to the more universal ISO image file format may be necessary if the computer does not have Toast Titanium installed or if the file is going to be used with a Windows based system. Mac OS X has built-in support for .toast files, allowing the user to mount them in the Finder and subsequently convert them to ISOs.
