Standard ISO image files contain the contents of an entire disc, including the boot sector in a single file. These multi-platform files interoperate with many different operating systems and applications. IMG files are used on Apple's Mac OS X along with the DMG format, and are similar to ISO files in that they contain multiple files within a single file. You can convert an ISO image to the IMG format in a Terminal session using Apple's built-in hdiutil command.
