Support and Development
The raw IMG file format is currently supported by GNU RaWrite & RaWrite2, and RawWrite for Windows. It is utilized by Qemu, VirtualBox and WinImage.
Nero Burning ROM prior to 6.0 supported reading IMG file for creating bootable CD, but since then calls them IMA.
Image files with the .IMG extension but not in raw image format are produced by several imaging programs, and are not necessarily compatible with each other, or with programs which handle raw images. There are programs which will convert between the image formats used by various programs, including raw format; one such is dsktrans from the LibDsk suite of command-line tools for Linux, MS-DOS, and Microsoft Windows.
Programs such as ImDisk and Virtual Floppy Drive can mount a raw image of a floppy disk to emulate a floppy drive under Windows.

“And then ... he flung open the door of my compartment, and ushered in “Ma young and lovely lady!” I muttered to myself with some bitterness. “And this is, of course, the opening scene of Vol. I. She is the Heroine. And I am one of those subordinate characters that only turn up when needed for the development of her destiny, and whose final appearance is outside the church, waiting to greet the Happy Pair!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
