I will take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the translators who made it possible for Rufus, as well as this webpage, to be translated in various languages. Once downloaded, the application is ready to use. Windows 7 or later, 32 or 64 bit doesn't matter. If you think you are up to the task, please have a look here.

The Rufus application would like to request your help with its translations, as the project is currently looking for volunteers that would be kind enough to update the localization for Arabic and Malay. (1)Ī non exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is also provided at the bottom of this page. It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USB from ISOs. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO.
