Features & Capabilities

EtchDroid ISO to USB Writer is a free and open-source Chrome extension designed to help users write operating system ISO images onto USB flash drives and USB SD card adapters without requiring root access. It's an essential tool for creating bootable USB drives, especially useful if your laptop is unresponsive or you need to install a new OS.

This extension supports a wide range of modern GNU/Linux distributions such as Arch Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, pop!_OS, Linux Mint, FreeBSD, and more. It also supports Raspberry Pi SD card images (after unzipping). However, it does not support official Microsoft Windows ISOs, Apple DMG files, older Linux versions, or USB hard drives and SSDs. EtchDroid offers a simple, reliable way to prepare bootable drives for various operating systems, with its source code fully available on GitHub, ensuring transparency and community trust.

User Reviews

Users widely praise EtchDroid as a portable, easy-to-use ISO-to-USB writer for Android. It reliably handles Linux ISOs and other images and is especially valued as a phone-based tool when a PC is unavailable. The app is free, open-source, ad-free, and convenient, with fast, straightforward burn/format steps. The main caveat cited by several reviewers is that Windows ISO writing can be less reliable, with occasional issues. Overall, it’s a trusted, go-to mobile solution for creating bootable USB drives.

Simple. Effective. Powerful. I've tried two similar apps before, but this is by far the best. Really impressed with how well it works and excited to see what's next.
