AnyToISO

Using ISO files is easy enough: you mount the virtual image first, and then you can access the contents within. This virtual image is much like a virtual disk which you can utilize for various purposes.

Creating and managing disk images is a bit of a different topic, however, as it requires one to work with a dedicated piece of software. With that in mind, AnyToIso’s name should be telling enough: it can help users extract the contents of an .ISO file with just a few clicks, and it can also enable you to create an entirely new image, either from a disc or your computer.

The no-nonsense interface works in the favor of users who want something functional and streamlined. This is important to note, because working with the app involves nothing more than pressing a few buttons. Look up the files you wish to extract or convert, begin the process, and the program should handle the rest.

What does extracting the files from an ISO actually entail, though? Choosing an .iso file will let you transfer its contents to a folder on your machine, which will contain the extracted files upon completion. Though you can very well copy and paste files from a virtual disk to anywhere on your computer via File Explorer, I would argue the program is both quicker and easier to use.

The program retains its ease of use when it comes to transferring CD or DVD files onto a virtual drive. To do so, select your source and destination, and optionally toggle the option to create a BIN/CUE image if that’s what you need.

Another interesting thing to note is that you can convert a folder to an ISO file, select your desired volume label, and manage the file systems, ISO 9660, and Joilet settings for it.

AnyToISO is a program that is fairly straightforward to use, but not to its detriment. It should handle various extraction and conversion duties involving ISO media with relative ease.
