ISO Toolkit: Open-Source Tools for Managing ISO Disk Image Files

A set of tools for creating, editing, extracting, and converting between ISO formats, ideal for developers and advanced users working with CD/DVD images.

What is ISO Toolkit?

ISO Toolkit is an open-source, free software suite for working with ISO disk image files. It provides a set of command-line tools for handling the most common tasks related to ISO images such as creating new images, editing existing ones, extracting files, and converting between ISO formats.

Some of the key features of ISO Toolkit include:

  • Creating ISO images from files and folders on your computer
  • Editing existing ISO files by adding/deleting files without recreating the entire image
  • Extracting individual files or the full file system from an ISO image
  • Converting between ISO formats like ISO, BIN/CUE, NRG, etc.
  • Work directly with physical CD/DVD drives to read and write images
  • Developer libraries and APIs for integrating ISO functionality into other software

ISO Toolkit is primarily aimed at advanced users and developers who regularly work with CD or DVD disk images. The command-line interface makes it suitable for scripting and batch processing operations. It can be a useful addition for applications that need to handle ISO images such as disk burning software, emulators, etc.

As ISO Toolkit is open-source software, it is available free of cost and the source code allows customization if required. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms.
