What is an IMZ file?
An IMZ file is a compressed disk image created by Gilles Vollant WinImage, a utility for managing and editing disk images. It contains an exact copy of a physical disk but is compressed to save disk space. Users can mount IMZ files as if they were physical disks using WinImage.
More Information
IMZ files are typically found when users, such as IT professionals, create or distribute disk images that require compression to reduce storage requirements. They may use these files to manage different disk image types, including hard drives, CDs, or virtual hard drives (VHD). However, IMZ files are most commonly created for storing disk images of 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disks.
NOTE: Users typically create IMZ files using WinImage by selecting the desired disk image and opting for compression. IMZ files are compressed versions of .IMA files, which are uncompressed disk images.
How to open an IMZ file
You can open IMZ files with WinImage in Windows. The app allows you to view and extract contents from the compressed disk image.
Alternatively, you can use software, such as IsoBuster, UltraISO, and PowerISO, which offer additional features for managing disk images. You can open the file by selecting File → Open or double-clicking the file if the program is set as the default application for IMZ files.
