PowerISO is a simple utility designed to deal with image files, by viewing file's content, creating, adjusting, converting, compressing or mounting them. The program offers full compatibility for ISO, BIN CUE formats.

The program's interface has been designed with a simple layout, which helps beginners to use it without complications. During the installation, PowerISO asks for destination path, file extension association, shell integration, and number of virtual drives required for image mounting. These parameters can be modified from the Option's menu at any time.

Once PowerISO is started, it is possible to create a new image from the file's menu; it shows different options, naming a few 'Data CD/DVD', 'UDF DVD', 'Audio CD', 'Video CD' etc.

The software provides extended possibilities, including burn images on optical discs, erase and append data; other functions help to create and copy CD/DVD/Blu-Ray discs. Furthermore, it comes with an interesting module dedicated to USB, enabling to create USB images, makes bootable drives and cleans the stored data from a USB device.
