Many users are faced with a situation where they need to use the same plastic disk all the time. Or there is a need to save the files on CD / DVD exactly the same way as they are.

If you want to make a set of documents without a disk, do the following:

    Selecting individual files. Call the context menu, click " Add».

    After that, go to the menu, " File", and then " Save". We choose the required format.

Daemon tools( )

Another equally popular program can be safely called DAEMON Tools... The application is considered one of the very first in this area. To interact, you need to perform a number of actions:


This program is great for playing games. Especially the paid professional version, because it allows you to cope with different types of protection installed by developers.

Alcohol 120( )

On a par with the first two, you can safely name it. This application allows you to create, and later and use virtual images of the most popular formats, including the above, as well as * .ccd, * .bin and many others.

The main disadvantage of the application is the license. Another version can be found by contacting torrent trackers.

    Download the installation files. We launch them, and using the prompts, we place the software on our device.

    Open, and then in the main menu select " Creation…».

    Click " Start»And wait for the end.

Image recording( )

It is interesting that all of the above applications only allow you to create virtual media, as well as interact with them in every possible way. The main thing that these programs are deprived of is recording to another portable device.

This article will describe the ways on how to create ISO from files and folders. For this, free programs will be used, which can be easily found in the search.

Creating an ISO file, which is basically Windows software files, is a very simple procedure. It is enough to have the program and the files themselves.

Creating an image on Windows 10/8/7 / xp

There is a convenient program "Ashampoo Burning Studio Free". With it, you can burn images, create images from files. This software works on all modern Windows operating systems.

Ashampoo Burning has a convenient and simple user interface in Russian.

If you click on the "Disk Image" item, then three items appear:

  • Burn the image (you can write an existing iso file).
  • Create an image (you can take and create an image from an existing disc).
  • Create image from files (future ISO files are selected and created).

We need to choose the third item. The following window will appear.

Choose the iso format. Next comes the direct addition of folders and files for the future ISO file.

You can choose the path to save and you can clearly see how much folders and files weigh. Everything is simple and this is not all the functions of this software.

You can download it from the official website: https://www.ashampoo.com/ru/rub/fdl

Another good CDBurnerXP program

It can run on Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 Server / Vista / 2008 / Win7 / Win8 / Win10 (x86 / x64).

It has a Russian language and a user-friendly interface, and is also supported by the old Windows XP OS.

Several steps to create an image.



Thus, the project will be saved and the ICO file will be created.

You can download it from the official website: https://cdburnerxp.se/ru/download

I must say right away that install the programs carefully, because you can install various unnecessary toolbars and others along with the program ... To do this, you need to select items such as "Additional parameters", "More download options" when installing or downloading. These steps apply to all freeware programs. The same Adobe Flash player, when updating or downloading there is a check mark on the google chrome installation, that's why it is updated so often. Of course, you can install additional toolbars, browsers and other elements, this is your right, but how many times I have not installed, I have not found any practical use in them, they only clog up the computer.

How to create an ISO image in UltraISO

It is also a good software, it is the most popular for working with images. The actions are as follows:

  1. After starting, at the bottom, select the files you want and by clicking the right mouse button, you can select the "Add" item.
  2. Once selected from the File menu, click Save

In the search, you can easily find it, unfortunately I did not find the official site.

That's all, I think these programs are enough to create an ISO image.
