USBImager writes compressed disk images to USB drives and creates backups

USBImager is a really really simple GUI application that writes compressed disk images to USB drives and creates backups. Available platforms: Windows, MacOS and Linux. Its interface is as simple as it gets, totally bloat-free.

Features

  • Open Source and MIT licensed
  • Portable executable, no installation needed, just extract the archives
  • Small. Really small, few kilobytes only, yet has no dependencies
  • No privacy concerns nor advertisements like with etch*r, fully GDPR compatible
  • Minimalist, multilingual, native interface on all platforms
  • Tries to be bullet-proof and avoids overwriting of the system disk
  • Makes synchronized writes, that is, all data is on disk when the progressbar reaches 100%
  • Can verify writing by comparing the disk to the image
  • Can read raw disk images: .img, .bin, .raw, .iso, .dd, etc.
  • Can read compressed images on-the-fly: .gz, .bz2, .xz, .zst
  • Can read archives on-the-fly: .zip (PKZIP and ZIP64), .zzz (ZZZip), .tar, .cpio, .pax *
  • Can create backups in raw and ZStandard compressed format
  • Can send images to microcontrollers over serial line
  • Available in 17 languages
