### PCx86 Disk Image Formats
PCx86 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](https://github.com/jeffpar/pcjs).
PCx86 works best with disk images in a **JSON** format, to save conversion time, so that's the
only disk format you'll find in the [PCjs Project](https://github.com/jeffpar/pcjs).
If you're running the PCjs Node web server, you can convert any of our **JSON** disk images into an **IMG** file
with the [DiskDump API](/api/v1/dump), by setting the *format* parameter set to `img` instead of `json`. For example:
There are several ways you can convert a PCjs **JSON** disk image back into a binary **IMG** file:
- Load the desired disk into a PCjs machine and click the **Save** button
- Use the [DiskDump API](/api/v1/dump) (available only in the [PCjs Node Web Server](/server.js))
When using the [DiskDump API](/api/v1/dump), set the *format* parameter set to `img` instead of `json`.
For example:
{{ site.url }}/api/v1/dump?disk=/disks/pcx86/dos/ibm/2.00/PCDOS200-DISK1.json&format=img
As an added bonus, the PCjs Node web server automatically provides "onclick" handlers for all links to JSON-encoded disk
images, automatically invoking the API for you.
The [PCjs Node Web Server](/server.js) also generates "onclick" handlers for links to **JSON** disk
images that automatically invoke the API for you.
See [Creating PCx86-Compatible Disk Images](/docs/pcx86/#creating-pcx86-compatible-disk-images) in the
[PCx86 Documentation](/docs/pcx86/) for more information about supported disks and formats.
