Rufus

Rufus is a lightweight tool with the main goal of facilitating the creation of bootable USB drives quickly, safely, and efficiently. It is designed for both home users and technicians and system administrators who need to prepare installation or recovery media without wanting to face unnecessary complications. With this tool, you can format a new drive or install disk images for Linux, Windows, and even FreeDOS.

Create bootable USBs for operating systems

Rufus's main function is to help you create bootable USB drives from ISO images. This means you can prepare drives that are ready to install operating systems including Windows and Linux distributions, as well as other boot tools. Furthermore, it is so simple to use that you won't believe that a traditionally complex process such as this can be executed the way Rufus manages to do it. You can download the ISO images from their official websites, making the entire process incredibly simple.

Compatible with different partition schemes

Rufus is compatible with multiple partition schemes and target systems, such as MBR or GPT, which allow you to create bootable media adapted to both older computers with traditional BIOS and modern systems with UEFI. Thanks to this compatibility, you can ensure that the USB you generate works correctly across a wide variety of hardware configurations.

Speedy and efficient writing

One of Rufus's great strengths is its speed. The program is optimized to write images to USB devices very efficiently, reducing wait times, even with large ISO files, and without compromising data integrity.

Installation-free, portable software

Another big advantage of Rufus is that it doesn't require installation. It can be run directly as a portable app, facilitating its use from different computers and making it a fast and easy-to-run tool. You can simply double-click the executable to use it, with no intermediate steps.
