### PCjs Disk Image Formats
PCjs works best with disk images in a **JSON** format, to save conversion time, so that's the only
disk image format you'll find on the PCjs website.
PCjs works best with disk images in a **JSON** format, to save conversion time, so that's the only disk image format
you'll find in the PCjs Project.
To convert any of our **JSON** disk images back into an **IMG** file, you can use the [DiskDump API](/api/v1/dump)
with the *format* parameter set to `img` instead of `json`. For example:
{{ site.url }}/api/v1/dump?disk=/disks/pc/dos/ibm/2.00/PCDOS200-DISK1.json&format=img
In fact, when browsing the disk archives, the PCjs web server automatically provides "onclick" handlers
for links to JSON-encoded disk images, which will invoke the API for you.
As an added bonus, when browsing the disk library with the PCjs Node web server, links to JSON-encoded disk images
automatically include "onclick" handlers that invoke the API for you.
See **Creating PCjs-Compatible Disk Images** in the [PCjs Documentation](/docs/pcjs/#creating-pcjs-compatible-disk-images)
for more information about supported disks and formats.
