Magic ISO Maker is a tool that can be used to create and edit CD/DVD images.

CDs and DVDs are used less than before. This is because the new storage systems are more durable and have higher capacities, such as flash drives or portable hard drives. Despite this, on some occasions, it is still useful or necessary to make CD/DVD copies. For these situations, it's necessary to have good software to do this task.

Magic ISO Maker is a veteran of CD/DVD image creation. A CD/DVD image is a single file that contains all data stored on a CD/DVD. This image can be shared easily on the Internet or copied to another high-capacity storage unit. For example, if we want to preserve our music CDs or video DVDs, we can make images and store them on a hard disk; this way, we ensure that even if the DVD or CD deteriorates, we will retain a copy that can be restored at any time.

With Magic ISO, we can create a .iso file (disk image) from a CD or DVD. The process is simple and direct. We need to insert the disc and press the “Create ISO from CD/DVD” button. We enter the image file name and wait for the process to finish.

We can also do the opposite and “burn” a .iso image to a CD/DVD. The process is equally simple, select “burn CD/DVD from iso,” select the file that contains the disc image, and wait for the process to finish. This software supports disk image formats: .iso, .uif, .bin, .img, .nrg, .mdf, .vcd, and more.

With this program, we can create images in format UIF (Universal Image Format), an exclusive format of this program that allows us to compress the created image and protect it with a password.

Also, it can convert different image formats to .iso, .bin, .cue, and .nrg.

Another option is to create an image from the files on our hard drive and create a data or bootable image. In addition, it is possible to create many images of different types: Audio CDs, Video CDs, DVDs, XBOX DVDs, and more.

Also, we can create floppy disk images of different sizes: 2,88MB (3,5“), 1.44MB (3.5”), 1.2 MB (5.25”), 720 KB (5.25”), and 360 KB (5.25”).

This software does not update since some years ago. The last version released was the 5.5 (build 281) and was launched in 2010, so unless we want to use a specific function of this software, it is advisable to look for an alternative program that is more up-to-date.

This software is paid for, and the trial version allows you to record images of no more than 300 MB.
