ImgBurn

ImgBurn is a free disc image-burning application for Microsoft Windows, developed by Lightning UK! It provides tools to create, read, write, verify, and convert disc images and to burn them to CD, DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray media.

It can create image files from files and folders, burn image files to discs, and verify data after writing. It supports building an image from a disc or from a folder tree, extracting data from discs to image files, and converting between image formats used by burning software.

ImgBurn supports common image formats such as ISO and BIN-based images and can process images used by distribution and backup workflows. The program runs on Windows and is distributed as freeware; it is not open source. The interface is compact and wizard-driven, designed for straightforward operation.

Since its release in 2005, ImgBurn has remained popular among users who need a lightweight, reliable tool for basic disc imaging tasks. It is often used for creating ISO images from a directory and burning images to optical media.
