Folder2ISO
What it is
Folder2ISO is a free, portable standalone tool that creates an ISO image from a folder. It supports ISO 9660, ISO 9660 with UDF 1.02, UDF 1.02, and UDF 2.50. The program can detect directory types and generate compatible DVD, BD, and UHD images. Downloads include graphical versions for Windows x64, x86, ARM64, and macOS, plus command-line builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux. On Windows, the site lists support from Windows XP through Windows 11 for x86, x64, and ARM64 systems. The command-line interface takes a source folder and destination ISO, with options for filesystem format and volume label. Windows shell context-menu integration is available. The software is translated into more than nine languages. Version 1.5, dated 2025-10-05, improves preservation of file and folder creation and modification dates. Folder2ISO does not burn, edit, or convert images.
