Open ISO disc images directly in your browser - no burning to DVD, no virtual drive software, no admin rights needed. Browse the contents, preview text and images, extract individual files, or grab everything as a ZIP. Works for Linux distro ISOs (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Mint), Windows installer ISOs, game ISOs, and software archives. Need to bundle files into a new archive instead? Use the Archive Creator. Working with other archive formats? Try the Archive Viewer for ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, and more. Pulling icons from an installer? Check the EXE Icon Extractor or DLL Icon Extractor.
or click to browse - works for ISO files up to 500 MB
Drag your .iso file onto the upload area, or click to browse. Files up to 500 MB work comfortably. The disc image is read in your browser using WebAssembly - nothing is uploaded to a server.
Click folders or use the breadcrumb trail to navigate the disc structure. Use the search bar to find specific files by name across the whole image.
Click any text, code, or image file inside the ISO to open it without extracting. Handy for checking autorun.inf, readme.txt, or peeking at install scripts.
Grab single files with the download icon, hand-pick items via the checkboxes, or click Extract All as ZIP to bundle the entire disc image as a ZIP with a branded README.
Want to browse other archive formats? Each has its own dedicated opener: ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2 and XZ all open in the browser without installing software. Need to bundle files into a new archive? Use the Archive Creator.
An ISO file (also called an ISO image or disc image) is a single-file copy of an entire CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc. The name comes from the ISO 9660 file system standard, although modern ISOs may use UDF (Universal Disc Format) for larger files. Unlike compressed archives like ZIP or 7Z, an ISO is not compressed - it is a byte-for-byte snapshot of the disc, including the file system metadata, boot records, and all data.
Mounting attaches the ISO to a virtual drive so the operating system treats it like a real disc. Windows 8+ supports this natively (right-click → Mount), and on macOS double-clicking an ISO opens it. Extracting unpacks the ISO contents into regular files on disk - which is what this tool does. Extract when you only need one or two files (a driver, a config, a document) and don't want to mount the whole thing. Mount when you want to install software or run an executable from the disc.
If your end goal is to install a Linux distro or Windows from the ISO, you also need to write it to a bootable USB drive - browsers cannot do this for safety reasons. Use Rufus, balenaEtcher, or Ventoy for that - then this tool is still useful for previewing the ISO contents before writing. You can also use an online drive writer like X Drive Writer to flash the image straight from your browser.
Navigate the ISO's folder hierarchy with breadcrumbs - the same view you'd see if you mounted the disc.
Find any file by name across the entire disc image - no need to extract first.
Read readme.txt, autorun.inf, license files, and view embedded images without extracting.
Need just one driver or a single document from the ISO? Check it and download - no need to extract gigabytes.
Repackage the entire disc image as a ZIP with the original folder structure and a branded README inside.
Supports both the legacy ISO 9660 standard and modern UDF disc images - covers virtually every ISO in the wild.
No virtual drive software, no admin permissions. Works on Chromebooks, work-locked PCs, mobile devices.
Everything runs in your browser via WebAssembly. Your ISO never leaves your device.
Drop your .iso file onto this page and the disc contents appear in your browser instantly. No DVD burner, no virtual drive software, no admin permissions needed. The ISO is read locally using WebAssembly, so it works on any operating system - including Chromebooks and work-locked PCs where you can't install third-party software. If you need to make a bootable USB instead, use Rufus or balenaEtcher.
Mounting attaches the ISO to a virtual drive so your OS treats it like a real disc - Windows 8+ supports this natively (right-click → Mount), macOS double-clicks the ISO directly. Extracting unpacks the ISO contents into regular files on disk, which is what this tool does. Extract when you only need a specific file out of the ISO (a driver, document, or installer) and don't want to install mount software.
Yes - this viewer reads ISO 9660 and UDF disc images, which covers virtually all Linux ISO distributions: Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, Mint, Pop!_OS, Manjaro, openSUSE, and so on. You can browse the boot files, package lists, kernel images, and squashfs contents without burning the ISO to USB first.
No - creating a bootable USB requires low-level disk access that browsers don't provide for safety reasons. Use a dedicated tool: Rufus (Windows), balenaEtcher (cross-platform), or Ventoy (multi-boot). There's also the portable X Drive Writer if you'd rather not install anything.
Yes - Windows 10 and Windows 11 install ISOs can be browsed here. You can extract setup.exe, individual drivers, the sources/install.wim file, or any other content. To install Windows from the ISO you'll still need a bootable USB - write the ISO with Rufus, then boot from the USB drive.
No - the entire ISO is parsed in your browser using WebAssembly. The file never leaves your device, which makes this safe for proprietary software ISOs, internal backup images, and sensitive disc archives. Still concerned? Please contact us and we'll be happy to help!
The viewer handles ISOs up to 500 MB comfortably on modern devices. Larger images (full Windows installers, DVD-sized ISOs around 4-9 GB) may still work but parsing speed depends on your device's available memory. The file list usually loads quickly even on bigger ISOs - so you can browse and grab individual files without waiting for the whole image to be unpacked.
Yes - click Extract All as ZIP at the top right of the viewer. The tool repackages the entire disc image as a ZIP with the original folder structure preserved and a branded README inside. You can also tick individual files or folders with the checkboxes to bundle a custom selection.
For those, use the Archive Viewer which handles ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, TAR.GZ, GZ, BZ2, XZ, and CAB in addition to ISO. Or use the dedicated 7Z Viewer for 7-Zip archives and the GZ Opener for GZIP-compressed log files.
