What is a DSK file?
Generic disk image format created by disk imaging programs; may be from an older program that images 3.5" diskettes, or from a newer program that creates larger disk images; often compressed to save disk space; can be mounted to appear as a disk on the desktop for Mac or within My Computer for Windows.
More Information
NOTE: Since the ".dsk" extension is used as a generic marker for multiple types of disk images, a DSK file created in one program may not be compatible with another program.

A DSK file may also be a database created by DSKE Simple IDs, a now-discontinued program for making identification cards. It contains information related to ID cards, such as names, photos, contact information, and other personal details that Simple IDs uses to generate unique identification cards.
More Information
Simple IDs is a software program for generating ID cards for employees, members, or events. Individuals or organizations can personalize ID cards with the software by inputting information such as names, photos, and contact details. This information is saved in the DSK database format, which you can view and edit with the software.
While it was once more commonly used for basic ID card creation, DSKE discontinued Simple IDs as more feature-rich ID card management software, such as cardPresso and AlphaCard, gained popularity.
How to open a DSK file
You can open DSK files with DSKE Simple IDs in Windows. However, DSKE no longer develops the software.
