How to convert DMG to 7Z

  1. Add your DMG disk images

    Drop DMG files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. 7Z is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the 7Z, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The DMG to 7Z converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your disk images are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

DMG to 7Z: what to expect

DMG only mounts on a Mac, and Windows and Linux need extra tools. 7z usually compresses tighter than ZIP. DMG is at home in distributing Mac applications; 7Z is the usual choice for the smallest archives.

A password-protected archive is refused, since its contents cannot be read without the password. DMG files are read, not installed or mounted: every file inside is unpacked and repacked into the 7Z, so nothing of the system image or installer is run.

DMG vs 7Z

DMG

Apple disk image

A DMG is a disk image used on macOS. Mac software is commonly downloaded as a DMG, mounted like a drive and dragged into Applications. Images can be compressed, encrypted and read-only. Only macOS mounts them natively.

Opens in macOS (double-click to mount); 7-Zip can read many on other systems

7Z

7-Zip archive

7z is the format of the open-source 7-Zip tool. It usually compresses noticeably better than ZIP, at the cost of needing an extra app on many computers.

Opens in 7-Zip, Keka, The Unarchiver, WinRAR; not built into older Windows or macOS

Questions

Are my disk images uploaded anywhere?

No. The DMG to 7Z conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting DMG to 7Z?

No. The files inside are repackaged unchanged.

Can I convert several DMG files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert DMG to 7Z on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the DMG file, press Convert and save the 7Z. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. An archive can be up to 500 MB, unpack to at most 1 GB and hold up to 50,000 files; beyond those limits the page says so. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
