Getting started

What BootForge does, what you need, and a five-minute first run.

Make a bootable drive

Connect a drive over OTG, prepare it as a Ventoy USB, and tune the layout.

Add & manage images

Browse the catalog, add ISO files, organise your library, and verify checksums.

Boot a PC

Open the boot menu, use the Ventoy menu, and fix common boot problems.

Maintain a drive

Manage files, update or reinstall Ventoy, and turn a drive back into a plain USB stick.

App & settings

Appearance, language, downloads, and what BootForge Pro unlocks.

Safety & trust

How destructive actions are guarded, privacy, and the open-source software BootForge uses.
