Toast (.toast)
Also known as: Toast file, .toast image, Roxio Toast disc image, Mac disc image
A .toast file is a disc image created by Roxio Toast, a popular Mac CD/DVD burning app. It stores the contents and layout of a disc so it can be burned or mounted later, similar to an ISO on the Mac.
- Disc image saved by Roxio Toast on Mac
- Stores disc contents and layout for burning/mounting
- Similar role to ISO/DMG; convert to ISO for portability
A Mac disc image
Toast was a long-standing Mac burning application, and its .toast image is the file it saves to represent a CD or DVD. It captures the files and disc layout so you can burn an identical disc or mount the image.
It plays a similar role to ISO and DMG images, but is tied to the Toast software ecosystem.
Opening .toast files
Roxio Toast opens .toast images directly. Some Mac tools can mount or convert them, and many .toast files can be renamed or converted to ISO for use with other software.
