Describe the bug

Hello,
I’m not sure whether I should post this bug here or on the Pi Imager GitHub page.
When trying to flash the Raspberry Pi 4 bootloader to an SD card using Pi Imager, the following error message appears: “Input file is not a valid disk image. File size 722361 bytes is not a multiple of 512 bytes.”
I’m using the latest stable release of Pi Imager on macOS 26.1.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. Open Raspberry Pi Imager (on macOS)
  2. Choose "SD card boot" for Raspberry Pi 4
  3. When trying to flash it, see the error message
