Virtual machines use virtual hard disks that are actually hard disk image files. After using your virtual machine for some time, you may find that your virtual machine hard disk does not fit your needs anymore, and you want to increase its capacity, reduce its size, or change its type and properties. Parallels has developed a special utility for increasing the virtual hard disk capacity and managing its properties - Parallels Image Tool.
Note: The virtual hard disk image file can be found inside the virtual machine's PVM bundle. In Mac OS X PVM bundles are stored in the /<Username>/Documents/Parallels/ folder by default.
Parallels Image Tool is installed automatically during the Parallels Desktop installation.
By default, Parallels Image Tool is installed in the following folder: /Applications/Parallels. To launch the application, go to Applications > Parallels in the Finder, and double-click the Parallels Image Tool icon.
