What are DSK files and how to open them
Are you having problems opening a DSK file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your DSK files.
What is a DSK file?
DSK files have multiple uses, and Disk Image is one of them. Read more about the other uses further down the page.
Disk Image
Files with the .dsk extension are most commonly associated with disk image files. These files normally contain a copy of the data that is on a diskette, CD, DVD, or hard drive. The DSK file format preserves the disk info and are useful for archiving disks onto a computer hard drive.
There are a lot of different formats that are not compatible, so make sure you select the right software for your specific DSK file. If you are unsure which type of file you have, use our File Analyzer and it will tell you exactly what type of DSK file it is.
How to open DSK files
Important: Different programs may use files with the DSK file extension for different purposes, so unless you are sure which format your DSK file is, you may need to try a few different programs.
While we have not verified the apps ourselves yet, our users have suggested ten different DSK openers which you will find listed below.
