What is NDIF file?
NDIF.DMG is a disk image file format developed by Apple for use with its Mac OS X operating system. It stands for “New Disk Image Format” and is based on the older .IMG format, which was used to store bootable disk images in versions of Mac OS prior to OS X. NDIF files are most commonly used as a way to distribute software applications and updates for Mac computers, either via password-protected download from Apple's website or by sending the application to the user on removable media.

How to convert the file from NDIF to IMAGE?
To successfully convert the NDIF file to IMAGE, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.NDIF). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case IMAGE (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than IMAGE).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. NDIF to IMAGE. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting NDIF files to IMAGE files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension IMAGE, while before this step we had the NDIF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new IMAGE file, or not.
