What is an HDF file?

HDF (Hard Disk File) is a hard disk image format used primarily with Amiga emulators. Unlike ADF files which represent floppy disks, HDF files can contain entire hard drive partitions or disks, supporting much larger storage capacities. They preserve the complete AmigaDOS file system structure including partitions, directories, and file attributes.

This tool can extract files from HDF disk images.
