3. Create the disk image with dd

Finally create the disk image of the entire disk /dev/disk2:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 of=backup.my.sdcard-18-oct-2015.img.dd bs=512
OR
$ sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 of=backup.my.sdcard-18-oct-2015.img.dd bs=1m
OR
$ sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 of=foo.bar.img.dd bs=64k
Sample outputs:

You can create compressed disk image as follows:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 bs=64K gzip -c > backup.disk.img.dd.gz
Where,

dd : Command name
if=/dev/disk2 : Input disk name
of=backup.my.sdcard-18-oct-2015.img.dd : Output image name
bs=64k or bs=1m or bs=512 : Set both input and output block size to n bytes.
gzip -c > backup.disk.img.dd.gz : Create compressed disk image using gzip

You can verify your disk with file command:
$ file disk-name-here.img.ddCompany information on dmg definitive management group in joliet il 2017.

Choose File > New > Image from “Untitled”. Next, enter a name for the disk image, then choose where to save it:

Etcher app

Etcher is an SD card flasher app that is simple for end users, extensible for developers, and works on any platform including macOS. However, it is written in JS, HTML, node.js and Electron. So if you want to download external and fat app go here. Personally, I recommend and use the CLI or inbuilt apps.
