What AnyToISO is
AnyToISO extracts or converts CD/DVD images and archives into ISO files, and creates ISO images from discs, files, and folders. It runs on Windows and macOS and supports formats including 7Z, BIN, DAA, DEB, DMG, IMG, ISO, ISZ, MDF, NRG, PKG, RAR, TAR variants, XAR, and ZIP. It can image CD, DVD, and Blu-ray discs while preserving the file system displayed on the source disc. For local files and folders, it can create images using ISO 9660, Joliet, and/or UDF. Windows users can access Explorer context-menu actions for files, folders, and drives; on macOS, supported files can be converted or extracted from Finder. Command-line batch operations are available on both platforms. A portable mode runs from a USB flash drive without installation but requires a special license. The free AnyToISO Lite edition is limited to files no larger than 870 MB. Paid licenses start at 22.95 USD one-time; the Standard Pro license for Windows & macOS costs 29.95 USD one-time. Disc burning is not supported, and password-protected or split-volume DAA images are not supported.
