If you're on a Mac as I think you might be, insert the SD card.

$ diskutil list

look at the list of devices shown, find the one that's the right size,
probably at the bottom of the list. For instance it might be shown as disk3.
If you get this wrong you might nuke your system disc, so be careful.

$ diskutil unmountDisk disk3

if it's still showing in Finder (if you click the eject button in Finder it
might disappear from the list).

$ sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk3 of=your-image.img bs=1m

Will make an image of the filesystem, the same size as your SD card (16GB,
32GB, whatever).  If you want compression, try something like:

$ sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk3 bs=1m | xz > your-image.img.xz
