After these basic explanations, we will list the 14 best applications and tools to create bootable USB devices in Windows, GNU/Linux or macOS. Most of them are intended for Windows, but there are also some that you can use on other operating systems.

Generally, to create a bootable USB we will need three things. The first is an ISO image, which are the files used to store an exact copy of a file system from an optical drive. Therefore, we will need one of these images to have an exact copy of the CD or DVD of an operating system or application, which can then be installed on the USB to boot directly from it.

Obviously, you will also need the executable USB itself. On this, you have to make sure that it has enough space to hold the ISO image, something that nowadays with the storage capacities should not be a problem. Also try to make sure it is as fast as possible, preferably USB 3.0 instead of USB 2.0 for higher speed.
