Developed by EZB Systems, UltraISO is a powerful and well-known CD and DVD images handler. It's very versatile, being capable of duplicating disc to CD/DVD image, editing and converting ISO files in various formats or creating audio CD images.
It provides a standard interface, that has four theme skins, comprised of blue and grey tones variations. Though the menu is well-organized, in full-screen mode the icons don't increase their size, which may be inconvenient for some persons, even though they offer text information when hovering.
Though the individuals' needs differ from one to another, the process of using this program's features is very much the same. You choose the image file you want to handle, by either using the quick buttons or the Drag&Drop function. After that, with a few mouse clicks, you edit your desired outcome, press the magic button and wait. That's everything you need to do.
UltraISO can process almost all types of image files, such as .ISO, .BIN, .IMG, .CIF, .NRG, .MDS, .CCD, .BWI, .ISZ, .DMG, .DAA, .UIF, .HFS . It can extract files and folders, create bootable CD/DVD discs or edit and convert other image files to the standard ISO format.
Moreover, it supports ISO 9660 Level1/2/3 and Joliet extension and it automatically optimizes the ISO image file structure, thus saving the disc space.
In conclusion, UltraISO is an easy-to-use tool, with rich features and fast conversion speed, that fully delivers what it promises.
