Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives, safely and easily.

Note: This is a fork with UI improvements, and Windows 7/8/8.1 compatibility.

Etcher-ng is a powerful OS image flasher built with web technologies to ensure flashing an SDCard or USB drive is a pleasant and safe experience. It protects you from accidentally writing to your hard-drives, ensures every byte of data was written correctly, and much more. It can also directly flash Raspberry Pi devices that support USB device boot mode.
