.img extension file is usually a bitmap file. The image in this file can either be a graphic bitmap or a disc image. The .img extension is used by image files on the disk as well raw dumps of files from a magnetic or optical disc. The actual format of the contents of the files depends on the disk file system where the image is created. This is because the raw image comprises of a sector based binary copy of the source disk like FAT, NTFS, CD, DVD or Floppy Disk. Just like an ISO file, a physical copy of the disc is not required to be inserted in the CD-ROM drive to play the disc media as it can be done with the help of the .img file copied onto the computer if it contains an image of the disc.
.bz2 is the filename extension associated with the bzip2 data compression format. It is an open source data compression and decompression tool developed by Julian Seward in 1996. The compression and decompression format is cross platform compatible and comes bundled with versions of Linux and UNIX. The latest of Bzip2 exists as an open source library for download and customization. Earlier versions have executables that can be run directly on Microsoft Windows.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for IMG to TBZ2 conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload IMG files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized TBZ2 results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent TBZ2 audio with dependable progress tracking.
It is possible that different formats could be used for .img extension files created by using different disc imaging programs. Hence, it is necessary to do a compatibility check before using these .img extension files between the various programs to protect the file from getting corrupt or rendering it unusable for future use. In simple terms, it means that a .img extension file is an exact replica of a specific disk. It can be used to backup the hard drive to be able to recover the data later in case the hard drive fails or can be used to create a copy of a program installation disk for future use in case the disk is lost.
Bzip2 compresses data using the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. It is a client of the libbzip2 library. Because the bzip2 is built on top of this freely available library, users are free to create their own programs to compress and decompress bzip2 files.
