The file extension .IMZ is an image file used in creating disk images with WinImage. It is proprietary software and the.IMZ file type is a compressed version of the regular.IMA disk image file format, which can be opened and edited in WinImage. This allows for smaller file sizes when sharing files with others.
Uses of IMZ (WinImage Compressed Disk Image) files
The.IMZ file extension is mostly used by WinImage as an optimized image for floppy disks. It can be used to store programs, copy data, or distribute software. This makes it incredibly useful for sending data such as software updates, game installation packages, distributions of large sets of files quickly over a network. It also can be used for creating a backup of a floppy disk since this file type can be converted back to an.IMA image. This is a great way to archive old floppies with the actual programs while keeping a compressed version. Along with compression, it also provides data compression via algorithms like DEFLATE, giving additional protection for your data.
Similar File Extensions
The.IMZ file type has similar file extensions such as: .IMA, .FLP, 1., and .VFL. All four of these files types are also used for creating and editing disk images in certain programs.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .IMZ) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .IMZ extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .IMZ file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .IMZ extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .IMZ extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .IMZ file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .IMZ file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .IMZ file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .IMZ file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .IMZ file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
