What is UIF file?
The UIF (Universal Image Format) is a disc image file format developed by Gracion Software, Inc. It is used to create disc image files that are used for backup and storage of data. The format has been developed to provide a high-quality, secure way of storing data on CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs with standard compression and password protection. The UIF file extension is an acronym for its name, which stands for Universal Image Format Disc Image. [ ⏩ ] UIF file extension

How to convert the file from UIF to DMG?
To successfully convert the UIF file to DMG, 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.UIF). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DMG (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 DMG).
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. UIF to DMG. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting UIF files to DMG 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 DMG, while before this step we had the UIF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DMG file, or not.
