  Hi!

  Had a file with img extension. How do I extract it?

  Read from some sites that I have to use MagicISO, but there is no elaboration. A forumer (from some other forum) claimed it's something like rar/zip, but if I'm not wrong it's an image...

  Thanks.

  .img file is a form of disc image. try using alcohol 120% or daemon tools and mount it.

  in layman terms, it means emulating the disc image file using daemon tools or alcohol 120% :X

  An image (not pictures) are just like RAR or ZIP files. They are compressed into one single file. When your burn the files, the program will automatically extract everything, thus you are then able to see and run the files.
