Free DMG Extractor

Free DMG Extractor is a small freeware utility from Media Freeware that opens Apple DMG disk images on Windows and extracts their contents. DMG is the disk image format used on macOS to distribute applications and files, and Windows cannot open it without additional software. The program is a single-purpose alternative to general archivers such as 7-Zip, which can also unpack some DMG images, and it is meant for users who simply need to get files out of a DMG image. Many DMG images hold a Mac file system such as HFS+, and the program reads it directly, so you do not need a Mac or a virtual machine to reach the files stored inside.

Features

• Open DMG images: the Open button loads a DMG file, and the program lists the files and folders stored inside the image, including hidden macOS service folders such as .fseventsd or .Trashes, in a view similar to Windows Explorer.

Lets Windows users get files out of Mac DMG images without a Mac or any paid software.

• Browse the contents: you can move through the folders of the image in a tree-style list and see the name, size and modification date of each item before you extract anything, so you know exactly what the image contains.

• Extract selected items: the Extract Selected button copies only the files or folders you pick to a folder on your hard drive, so you do not have to unpack the whole image when you need just one document or picture.

• Extract everything: the Extract All button saves the complete contents of the DMG image to a chosen output folder in one step, keeping the folder structure of the image.

• Simple interface: the window consists of a toolbar with four large buttons (Open, View, Extract Selected and Extract All) and a file list. There are no other options or configuration settings to learn, so the tool is easy to use even for beginners.

• Small size: the installer is only about 1.4 MB, it installs with a standard setup wizard, and the program uses few system resources while it works, even on older computers.

• Free to use: Free DMG Extractor is freeware, so it costs nothing and has no trial period or feature limits.

• Windows support: the program runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10, in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.

Overall, Free DMG Extractor is a basic but practical tool for Windows users who receive a DMG file from a Mac user or download one from the web and only need to get the files out of it. It works only with DMG images, does not create them, and has not been updated since version 1.0 was released in 2014. Keep in mind that applications stored inside a DMG image are macOS programs and will not run on Windows; the tool is mainly useful for documents, media and other data files.
