# Subscription Service
Ventoy is an open source software under GPLv3 license.
But the Ventoy project needs to pay for the server hosting, domain name, bandwidth, many USB sticks for testing, large capacity of HDD (for downloading ISO files) and so on.
For the better and sustainable development of Ventoy, I provide the [【subscription service】 ](https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_subscription.html ).

## About
An open-source tool to create a bootable USD drive for multiple ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD(x), EFI files.
With Ventoy, you don't need to repeatedly format the disk -- simply copy the image files to the USB drive and boot it. You can copy multiple images at a time and select which one you'd like to boot to from a menu. Furthermore, you can browse image files in the local disk and boot them right there. Simple!
Most operating systems are supported (see details below). Over 1,100 ISO files are tested ([list](https://www.ventoy.net/en/isolist.html)), and over 90% of the distros in [distrowatch.com ](https://distrowatch.com ) are supported ([details](https://www.ventoy.net/en/distrowatch.html)).
