This is the tool for the job, it is by far the fastest Flash Drive / SD Card writer on windows. Maybe DD could be faster if configured correctly, but this is far simpler to use. Only wish the name was more memorable so I can find the app when I need it. If your creating a multi boot or want more options, Rufus and Ventoy are great options, but for a Raspberry Pi SD card: USBImager is the FASTEST and simplest 10/10.

This makes bootable USB devices from existing Image files.

Small, simple and does everything it needs to without any unnecessary bells and whistles.

I was looking for replacement of SUSE Studio ImageWriter and so far this one has everything I needed.

  • Great alternative for Win32DiskImager :)

I was trying to make a full backup of a bootable Linux SD Card containing multiple partitions, on Windows.

All the recommendations I could referred to Win32DiskImager, but it's quite old software as of now and wouldn't start on my Windows 10 Pro (2021) build.

USBImager did the job fine, and apparently works on pretty much every OS.. and! backed up the SD Card in the more fitting .dd file format.

I'm so sick of getting hounded to pay for the simpliest of software, another site just advertised some program in place of actually providing an alternative to the already free but dated software.

Finding this made me so happy, I made and account to give it a big ol' HEART, and leave this review. Thank you to the creators for producing this minimalistic software for a task that should be considered simple, for free.

You absolute bloody legends.

A competent alternative to rufus on windows and the best img/iso burner on Raspberry pi.

Easy to install, super fast and light.
