Extract Img File Windows
Operating System (OS) files are now mostly put as an.img file, such that it is created in to a single file. Before, to open an IMG file we required third party tools or software’s. But now windows 8 have treated us with an excellent inbuilt default feature to open or Mount the.IMG files or the ISO files without any third party tool or application.
I have a backup .img file of an old Raspbian installation that I used to have running as a webserver. I'm unable to get the Raspberry Pi to boot from it any more, I think due to running out of space on the card but I could be wrong on that.
This backup has an old Wordpress website on it which I'd like to recover. So I'm wondering is there any way to access the contents, either from Windows? There is a similar question which covers this on a Linux system, but is it possible from Windows?

Download Ext for Windows and then mount img file and you will see the contents of mounted image.
Alternatively, use DiskInternals' Freeware Linux Reader for Windows (as I was unable to figure out how to mount .img files with Paragon's ExtFS for Windows).
It also turns out that 7zip can extract a .img file just like any other archive file:
If you have your backup SD card, or can burn your image to any SD card, you can also use open source tool ext2fsd to access it.

An IMG file is a disk image file. IMG files may be burned to CD or DVD. Operating systems, such as Ubuntu, are downloaded in the IMG format. In such cases, the IMG file is simply burned to a disk using a ROM burning utility. However, the IMG file is simply an archive, similar to a ZIP file. Should you need to extract the files in an IMG archive for your business, you can easily do so using a standard archiving utility, such as 7-Zip, WinRAR or WinZIP.
