I found this tool that runs under Windows for extracting the Oreo system.img. Just put the system image into the program folder and run the convert.bat. The result is a system.ext4.img with could be opened and extracted with 7zip. You could also convert every other image like cust.img, boot.img, etc. But you have to rename every image to system.img. The convert.bat only works with this name.

You can just open a command prompt in the same folder as simg2img.exe and run:
simg2img.exe input_sparse.img raw_output.img
Then you can either use the included Ext2Explorer, or extract it using 7zip (this will not keep permissions/ownership).

You can not convert boot/recovery/ramdisk using this. Use Android Image Kitchen for that.

But cust.img worked without problems. Thought it works for every image from the firmware.

It doesn't work for android 9 .img

D:\convert>simg2img.exe system.img raw_output.img
Bad magic

Edit: I've just extracted system.img with 7 zip

    system, vendor, cust, product, odm and version will convert fine.

    For ramdisk/kernel/recovery partitions you need to use Android Image Kitchen as they're not sparse images.
