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.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the TAR.GZ, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The DMG to TAR.GZ converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your disk images are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
DMG only mounts on a Mac, and Windows and Linux need extra tools. TAR.GZ is the standard archive on Linux and for source code. DMG is at home in distributing Mac applications; TAR.GZ is the usual choice for source code and server backups.
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 TAR.GZ, so nothing of the system image or installer is run.
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
DMG converterA .tar.gz (or .tgz) is a TAR archive compressed with gzip. It is the standard way software source code and Linux backups are distributed.
Opens in macOS, Linux and recent Windows; 7-Zip elsewhere

No. The DMG to TAR.GZ conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
No. The files inside are repackaged unchanged.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
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 TAR.GZ. There is nothing to install.
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.
