Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it. You can copy many iso files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them (screenshot). Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way. 200+ ISO files are tested (list).
A "Ventoy Compatible" concept is introduced by ventoy, which can help to support any ISO file.

- UEFI Secure Boot supported (since 1.0.07+) Notes
- ISO files larger than 4GB supported
- Native boot menu style for Legacy & UEFI

- Not only boot but also complete installation process
- ISO files can be listed in List mode/TreeView mode Notes
- "Ventoy Compatible" concept

This software is very handy ! No more need to redo your key again and again to install a single ISO in Legacy OR UEFI: Install Ventoy on the USB stick once and copy all the ISO's you want in it (Operating systems, diagnostic tools and so on...) The extra feature is that the software formats the USB Flash Drive for both UEFI and Legacy boot menus.
This is the best tool for multiboot, supports both legacy and UEFI boot at the same time
This is the most convenient open source utility that can create a multiboot flash drive in Windows and Linux environments. Moreover, it does not write operating systemы images directly, but creates a special MBR/GPT boot record for BIOS and UEFI systems. You can simply copy your images (*. ISO, ...) to a Ventoy formatted USB.
No more imaging the entire flash drive. Simply copy iso file.
Works on a very wide choice of devices, compared to multibootusb - adding ISOs is also very easy
