How can I convert an iso cd image to bin/cue format on a mac? I did some Googling, but couldn't find a solution, ended up having to use some freeware tool for windows in a VM :/

1If anyone found this post because they were trying to do the reverse (convert bin/cue to an iso) take a look here: jamesnsears.com/2007/04/convert_bin_cue_iso_on_mac_osx.php Worked for me. You can download bchunk and run "bchunk problemimage.bin problemimage.cue convertedimage.iso"– usernameNov 23, 2009 at 13:34

PowerISO has a Mac command line utility for converting between ISO, BIN, DAA, and other formats.

poweriso convert input.img -o output.bin -ot bin

Sadly, that link is for a 32-bit executable and won’t run in Catalina and beyond. Feb 24, 2021 at 11:08

Try this: poweriso.com/download-poweriso-command-line-utility-for-osx.htm it works on M1 (64bit) Monterey– konsumerJul 8, 2022 at 6:54
LiquidCD can write CUE/BIN files. The process would be the same as actually creating an image from the disc.
- Mount ISO image on the Mac
- Point LiquidCD to the Mounted Image
- Write CUE/BIN File
I did this before to convert an ISO to a DMG.
As of this edit, April 14, 2020, the domain for LiquidCD, maconnect.ch, simply returns a :-)
and no other content.

The iso image I'm converting also contains some CD audio tracks. Will they be converted as well with this method? Jul 15, 2009 at 14:48

You will have to test and try, I am not sure. LiquidCD however does support extracting Music so it might be able to. I hardly ever deal with Audo CD's Jul 15, 2009 at 15:10

I've been trying to rip some PS1 games to play in emulators for ages now, and this is the only program I could find that made working BIN/CUE images out of the ISOs I ripped with Disk Utility.– FrogBotSep 13, 2014 at 5:34
Toast Titanium will do it, but its by no means free.
There's a handy little command line tool to do BIN/CUE -> ISO, but I can't find one to do the reverse.

FYI, Disk Utility built into OS X can burn .ISO files natively. Just select 'Burn' from the toolbar in Disk Utility and choose your .ISO file and Disk Utility will burn it, all without additional software
