Built for real disc work
One window for the jobs that usually need three programs.
Open an image, look inside, extract files, convert the format, mount it, or send it to a disc or USB drive.
Open a real disc immediately
Put a CD or DVD in the drive and browse it at once. If the disc has a filesystem, you see the files. If it is audio-only, you see the tracks.
Pull audio out of BIN/CUE
Mixed-mode and audio images expose each track as a WAV or raw BIN file you can extract. Data tracks stay as the original sectors.
Convert to the format you need
Save as ISO, DSIM, or BIN/CUE in 2048 or 2352 mode. NRG, MDF, and CCD dumps convert to ISO in one step.
Mount, then find it in the tray
Mount with Windows, WinCDEmu, or ImDisk. Choose up to eight drive slots, a preferred letter, and a tray icon that lists what is mounted.
Burn, USB, and Windows images
Burn with IMAPI, copy a disc to ISO, write a bootable USB, or use DISM-style tools for WIM/ESD work — all from the same Tools window.
The real interface

A clearer workflow
From a folder or a disc to a finished image.
You do not have to learn a new language. Open something, look at it, then choose extract, convert, mount, or write.
- 1 Open An ISO, BIN/CUE, archive, virtual disk, or the disc already in your drive.
- 2 Inspect Browse folders, preview files, and extract only what you need.
- 3 Write Save, convert, mount, burn, or create a USB installer.
Your files stay here
No cloud queue. No hidden upload.
Private by design
Free. No ads. No account. No upload.
Disc Studio is a portable Windows app. It does not ask you to register, it does not show banners, and it does not send your images to a server to “process” them.
- Works offline after the first download
- Settings live in your Windows profile, not on a website
- Ten interface languages, including Simplified and Traditional Chinese
- CLI included for repeatable local jobs
Said plainly
What this build does not pretend to be.
A useful tool should not advertise another product’s locked formats or a kernel driver it does not ship.
- PowerISO DAA images are not supported.
- There is no signed SCSI virtual-drive miniport. Mounting uses Windows, WinCDEmu, or ImDisk.
- True CD-DA burning, VCD authoring, CDDB, and CD-TEXT are not included.
- Windows IMAPI cannot incrementally append to a disc that was never finalized.
- The current download is not Authenticode-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run.
Practical guides
Solve the job, then download if you need the workbench.
Each guide targets one real search: edit an ISO, convert BIN/CUE, mount on Windows 11, write a USB installer, or copy a disc.
How to edit an ISO on Windows
Add, remove, and save files inside an ISO without unpacking the whole disc image first.
Convert BIN/CUE to ISO
Turn a BIN/CUE pair into a regular ISO you can mount, extract, or burn.
Mount an ISO on Windows 11
When Explorer is enough, and when you need extra slots, BIN/CUE, or a tray icon.
Make a bootable USB from an ISO
Write a Windows or Linux installer ISO to a USB drive locally.
Extract files from an ISO
Pull selected files out of an image without burning a disc.
A free ISO editor for Windows
What “free” should actually include: no ads, no account, and files that stay on your PC.
Create an ISO from a folder
Turn a folder of files into an ISO on this PC, without the Windows ADK.
Burn an ISO to a disc
Write an ISO to a CD or DVD with Windows IMAPI. Nothing is uploaded.
Convert NRG, MDF, or CCD to ISO
Open older Nero and Alcohol dumps and save them as a regular ISO.
Copy a CD or DVD to ISO
Browse the disc first, then keep a local ISO backup.
A free UltraISO alternative
What this workbench actually replaces — and the proprietary pieces it will not clone.
Install Windows onto a USB drive
Windows To USB formats NTFS, applies install.wim, then runs bcdboot.
Questions, answered
Everything you should know before downloading.
The app is portable. You can try it without installing anything into Windows.
Is Disc Studio really free?+
Yes. The desktop app is free for personal and commercial use. There is no trial clock, no watermark, and no advertisement inside the window.
Do my ISO files get uploaded?+
No. Opening, converting, mounting, hashing, burning, and USB writing all run on your Windows PC.
What Windows version do I need?+
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Use the installer for a Start Menu shortcut, or the portable .exe if you do not want a setup wizard. Neither download needs a separate .NET install.
Can it replace a paid disc-image suite?+
For everyday ISO work, BIN/CUE conversion, browsing a disc, mounting, burning data discs, and USB installers — yes. It does not clone every proprietary format or ship a signed kernel virtual drive.
Windows says the app is unrecognized. Is that expected?+
Yes, until the build is Authenticode-signed. Compare the SHA-256 on this page with the file you downloaded, then continue if it matches.
