Ventoy is an open-source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO/ WIM/ IMG/ VHD(x)/ EFI files. Using this application program, you don’t have to format the disk, again and again, you need to copy the ISO/ WIM/ IMG/ VHD(x)/ EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly.
You can copy many files at a time and Ventoy offers you a boot menu to pick them up. The application supports x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI, and MIPS64EL UEFI within the same approach. Also, it supports the most type of OS (Windows/ WinPE /Linux/ ChromeOS/ Unix/ VMware/Xen…)

Ventoy consists of many open-source tasks and a few codes developed by myself. All the code generated by myself follows the GPLv3+ License. For these open-source tasks, some modify their source code, and for a few, I use their libraries or binaries. All the modified codes follow the same license because of the project itself.
