What is Ventoy
Ventoy, an open-source wizard crafting USB drives for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI delight.
No endless disk formatting, just copy files anew—ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI, take flight.
Bulk file transfer, a breeze in the vent, a menu to greet, a visual feast (screenshot).
Local disks explored, boot options adored, ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI stories, we repeat.
Legacy BIOS nods, IA32 UEFI applauds, x86_64 UEFI stands tall, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI answer the call.
Diverse OS symphony (Windows/WinPE/Linux/ChromeOS/Unix/VMware/Xen…), in Ventoy’s embrace, they dance with glee.
A litany of 1100+ tested images (see list), distros in distrowatch.com join the fest (details) with a 90% success kiss.
