How To Extract ISO Image File Using a Simple Software In Windows 10
Or Extract Files From An ISO Without Burning To CD or DVD

Today I am going to show you How To Extract ISO Image File Using a Simple Software In Windows 10.

Some downloads from the internet have an ISO extension. These are CD or DVD image files. You can't read the contents of these files directly. Instead, you have to burn them to a CD or DVD disc, which you can then read in order to look at the files within the ISO image. 

Typically, operating systems such as Linux are packaged as ISO files, as are some downloads from Microsoft. To install the product you have to burn it to a disc first. Also, some items that you might have downloaded from web sites are, again, ISO images, because they were originally available as a disc and the ISO format allows the precise disc layout to be preserved.

If you have an ISO file and you want to examine its contents without burning it to a CD or DVD, help is at hand. A free Windows utility called ISO Opener is all you need. It works like a standard unzip program, extracting the contents of the ISO image so you end up with a collection of standard, recognisable files that you can then deal with as you please.

ISO Opener is available from www.isoopener.com and is free of charge. It's less than 1 MB to download, runs on all recent versions of Windows (I used windows 10 for my tests), and is malware-free according to VirusTotal and Web of Trust. Definitely one for the toolbox.

How to Use

After the installation is complete, run the software and choice an iso file, then specify an output folder, press the "Extract" button to start extracting files. Please note that there should have enough space left in the output folder on the disk, the required disk space size is basically the same as the ISO file that you specified, if disk space is not enough, the extraction operation will be terminated.

After the software start the extraction process, the generated files will be stored to your specified output directory, if the ISO file contains the folder, the software will automatically create a corresponding folder. The "Extract Log" section will show a detailed work log. Finally, after the file extraction is complete, this software will prompt the total number of extracted files and folders, as well as the total of output file size
