Parallels Mounter
Universal version seen at v20.4.1 · Reported by 5 Macs in the community.
Parallels Mounter is a utility component of Parallels Desktop that allows Mac users to mount and access virtual machine disk images without launching the full Parallels Desktop application. It enables users to browse, extract files from, and work with VM disk formats like .pvm, .hdd, and other Parallels-created virtual disk files directly from the macOS Finder. This tool is particularly useful for developers, IT professionals, and power users who need quick access to files stored within virtual machines or want to transfer data between their Mac and VM environments without the overhead of running the complete virtualization software.
