Simplified standalone qemu-img.exe files.
The 32-bit binary (qemu-img_ia32.exe) was ripped from the 20221230 build.
The 64-bit binary (qemu-img_x64.exe) was ripped from the 20260814 build.
The ARM64 binary (qemu-img_arm64.zip) was ripped from the 20260814 build.
ARM64 DLL Lists (This architecture of binary cannot be combined to single standlone .exe files so I had to zip it. Tested on Windows 11, Version 23H2 with Apple M1 under Parallels Desktop.)
qemu-img.exe convert -f vmdk -O vpc \path\to\input.vmdk \path\to\output.vhd(x) -p
(Replace vpc with vhdx if you are trying to convert with VHDX)

qemu-img.exe convert -f vpc -O vmdk -o subformat=monolithicSparse \path\to\input.vhd(x) \path\to\output.vmdk -p
(Replace vpc with vhdx if your source disk file is VHDX)
