Etcher is a free and open-source utility used for burning image files such as .iso and .img files, as well as zipped folders to create live SD cards and USB flash drives. It is developed by resin.io, and licensed under Apache License 2.0.[2] Etcher was developed using the Electron framework and supports Windows, macOS and Linux.[3][4][5][6][7] The latest release of Etcher is version 1.4.4.[8]

Features

Etcher is primarily used through a graphical user interface, however there is also a command line interface though it's still in development.[9]

Future planned features include support for persistent storage allowing the live SD card or USB flash drive to be used as a hard drive, as well as support for flashing multiple boot partitions to a single SD card or USB flash drive.
