This is a quick guide to convert .vdi (VirtualBox) files to .img files and how you convert .img files to .vdi (VirtualBox) files.
To convert a .vdi file to a .img file, you can use these easy steps:
.vdi to .img
Windows
- Open up command prompt (click start, then type/click run)
- Issue the following command:
VBoxManage clonehd <nameOfOriginalVDI>.vdi <nameOfNewImage>.img --format RAW
- Wait for the clone to finish, and presto! You have an image file.
Note:
When you do convert a .vdi to a .img, remember that the .img file will be the maximum size that you set your .vdi to grow to.
If VBoxManage is not recognized, navigate to the install directory of VirtualBox or add the install direction to your path.
Linux
The process for conversion is the same on Linux as on Windows.
.img to .vdi
Windows
- Open up command prompt (click start, then type/click run)
- Issue the following command:
VBoxManage convertdd <nameOfOriginalImage>.img <nameOfNewVDI>.vdi
- Wait for the conversion process, and you once again have a lean, trim .vdi!
Note:
When converting a .img to a .vdi, the .vdi will shrink in size to accommodate the contents of the VM only.
If VBoxManage is not recognized, navigate to the install directory of VirtualBox or add the install direction to your path.
Linux
The process for conversion is the same on Linux as on Windows.
I hope this helps some of you out there in the deep, dark recesses of the blogosphere!

/ 7 November 2019HELP! I can’t do this! It tells me: VBoxMange.exe: Error: Cannot Register the hard disk ‘(Original Path to .vdi)’ {(UUID)} because a hard disk ‘(Destination Path .img)’ with UUID {UUID} already exists.
If this helps:
Windows 7 32-Bit VirtualBox Version 5.2.34
Also tried on Windows 8.1 32-Bit V.5.2.34 and Windows 10 32-Bit V.6.0.14 and it still doesn’t work.
