# Ventoy
|
|
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files.
|
|
With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, 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.
|
|
Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way. 200+ ISO files are tested.
|
|
A "Ventoy Compatible" concept is introduced by ventoy, which can help to support any ISO file.
|
|
|
|
