About ISO
ISO (ISO 9660) is a disc image format originally designed for CD-ROMs. The format creates an exact sector-by-sector copy of an optical disc, including the filesystem structure. Modern ISO files use Joliet extensions for long filenames and Unicode support. ISO is uncompressed, prioritizing compatibility and direct mounting over file size.

ISO's killer feature is double-click mounting: Windows 10+, macOS, and Linux can mount ISO files as virtual drives without any software. This makes ISO ideal for software distribution-users double-click to mount, browse files like a folder, and run installers directly. No extraction step, no temporary files, no cleanup needed.
