Powerful Features for Safe USB Flashing
Ixio combines advanced functionality with comprehensive safety controls to provide the best USB flashing experience across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Core Functionality
Multi-Device Support
Flash multiple USB drives simultaneously with parallel execution. Queue management for sequential or parallel flashing operations with independent progress tracking for each device.
Drag & Drop Interface
Easy ISO file selection with visual feedback. Simply drag and drop your ISO file into the application window for instant recognition and analysis.
Real-Time Progress
Live speed and ETA displays for each device with detailed stage information. Monitor write speed, elapsed time, and estimated completion time for every flash operation.
Multi-Format Support
Support for ISO, IMG, ZIP, GZ, XZ, DMG, VHD, EFI, and TAR files. Compressed formats are automatically detected and decompressed during the flashing process.
Enhanced Flash Engine
Automatic ISO Detection
Intelligent detection of Windows, Linux, FreeDOS, and generic ISOs. Ixio automatically analyzes your ISO file and identifies the operating system type and version.
Smart Preset Configuration
Automatic optimal settings based on ISO type and version. Windows 11 gets GPT + UEFI + NTFS, modern Linux gets GPT + UEFI + FAT32/exFAT, and legacy systems get appropriate MBR configurations.
Flexible Partition Schemes
Support for MBR, GPT, and Hybrid (GPT+MBR) partition schemes. Choose the right partitioning scheme for your target system and bootloader requirements.
Multiple File Systems
FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, EXT4, and exFAT filesystem support. Automatically select the optimal filesystem based on ISO size and target system requirements.
Advanced Features
Hash Calculation
MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512 checksums with copy-to-clipboard functionality. Verify ISO integrity before flashing to ensure your image file is not corrupted.
Comprehensive Verification
Post-flash integrity checking with checksum validation, partition integrity verification, and bootloader verification. Ensure your USB drive was flashed correctly.
Distribution Detection
Automatic detection of Linux distributions and versions. Ixio recognizes popular distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and applies appropriate configurations.
Parallel Processing
Efficient multi-device flashing with independent progress tracking. Flash multiple drives at once without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Safety & Reliability
Enhanced Device Protection
Multi-layer safety checks for system drives and internal drives. System drives are automatically hidden and blocked to prevent accidental data loss.
Visual Warnings
Color-coded indicators for internal drives with warning icons. Internal drives are marked with red borders and clear warning symbols when enabled.
Confirmation Dialogs
Multiple safety prompts for destructive operations. Every flash operation requires explicit confirmation to prevent accidental data loss.
Detailed Logging
Comprehensive operation logs for troubleshooting. Track every step of the flashing process with detailed timestamps and status information.
