ImageUSB PassMark Software

ImageUSB is a utility designed to create exact bit-level copies of USB Flash Drives (UFDs), making it an effective tool for mass duplication. It also supports writing ISO files directly to USB drives and can be used to install OSFClone for forensic purposes with PassMark OSForensics™.

Key Features:

• Bit-Level Cloning: Creates exact copies of UFDs, including preserving unused and slack space.
• ISO Support: Writes ISO files byte by byte directly to USB drives, though compatibility may vary depending on the file system used (e.g., ISO9660, Joliet, or UDF).
• Preservation of MBR and GPT: Unlike other tools, ImageUSB preserves the Master Boot Record and GUID Partition Table during cloning.
• Zeroing Functionality: Replaces drive contents with zeros to securely erase data, either for the entire drive, MBR, or GPT entries.
• Reformatting Capabilities: Can reformat even hard-to-format drives and reclaim lost disk space.
• ISO Content Extraction (V1.5+): Extracts ISO contents onto USB drives, expanding compatibility.

Audience & Benefit:

Ideal for IT professionals, forensic analysts, and anyone requiring precise USB duplication or forensic imaging. ImageUSB ensures efficient, accurate cloning of bootable UFDs and supports secure data erasure and recovery of lost storage space.

Available via winget installation, ImageUSB is a free utility with no restrictions on use or distribution as long as credit is given to PassMark Software.
