Ventoy is a free, open-source tool for building multiboot USB drives. The latest version is 1.1.18, released on October 9, 2026; it has Windows and Linux installers and supports ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD(x) and EFI files.
With most USB tools, you write one image, and if you need a different one you wipe the stick and start again. Ventoy changes that: you install it once, then simply copy ISO files onto the drive like ordinary files.
How Ventoy works
- Copy and boot: Drop as many ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD(x) or EFI files as fit onto the drive. At boot, Ventoy shows a menu so you can pick one.
- Wide compatibility: The developers say more than 1,400 image files have been tested, including most popular Linux distributions.
- BIOS and UEFI: It boots on legacy BIOS and UEFI systems, including Secure Boot machines.
- Large files: ISO files over 4 GB are supported.
Preparing the USB drive
- Ventoy is released on GitHub; take the newest release from the project’s releases page.
- On Windows, download the windows.zip file (about 16.7 MB), extract it and run Ventoy2Disk.exe. Linux users take the linux.tar.gz package.
- Select your USB drive and click Install. Then copy your ISO files onto the drive.
Good to know
Installing Ventoy formats the USB drive and deletes what is on it; later updates keep your ISO files. The official site, ventoy.net, also recommends checking the SHA-256 hash of the download.
Pros
- Many ISO files on one USB drive
