How to Create ISO From DVD/CD in Windows 10 [ 3 Ways ]

But before we dive in further, here is a quick overview.

However, ISO Image files are a great way to make an identical copy of any CD or DVD because they not only contain the data files but also copy the bootable properties of an optical disc. But the worst thing is that Microsoft doesn’t provide any official utility in their system.

And since there is no in-built tool for this, many users ask different questions like the one which I have answered.

Q. How to Create ISO File From DVD in Windows 10?
Ans. Creating an ISO Image file from a CD or DVD is pretty easy using some free third-party software. Just you have to install them and then follow the given mentioned steps.

So, let’s get started…

1. Using ImgBurn

ImgBurn is one of the best free iso creator for Windows 10 using which you can easily perform all tasks related to CD/DVD. Moreover, this is the same tool that we used to create iso from bootable USB in our previous posts and now we are using it for this task.

And here are the steps to follow:-

1. First, download and install the ImgBurn tool from the given link. After installation is completed, Open or Run the installed application.

2. Now insert the DVD/CD into your computer or laptop and then click on the Create image file from disc button from the wizard.

3. After that, it will automatically detect the DVD from the CD ROM. Now click on Browse for a file… icon, next to Destination, and then select the folder where you want to save the converted ISO file.

4. At last, click on the Read button to copy from the disc.

And then Imgburn will start buffering the data and making copies from the disc. Now, wait for 2-3 minutes while your ISO file is getting created.

Note:- Please make sure that DVD/CD you are using is in perfect working condition without any severe scratches on it.

2. Using WinX DVD Ripper Platinum

As one of the best DVD coping software, WinX DVD Ripper Platinum provides you with a 3-click solution to create ISO files from DVDs on both Windows and Mac. Moreover, users can easily use WinX DVD Ripper Platinum to convert ISO image files to MP4, AVI, WMV, MOV, HEVC, FLV, etc. for easy playback on iPhone, iPad, Android, and other portable devices. With the unique level-3 hardware acceleration, it enabled to guarantee a superfast DVD conversion speed with no quality loss.

Here is the step-by-step guide:-

4. Select a destination folder to store the file and hit the “Run” button to start ripping ISO from the DVD.

3. Using WinCDEmu

WinCDEmu is another freeware utility that is well known for mounting disc images in Windows operating system. Basically, it makes a virtual CD drive using device drivers which enables you to access Image files without having a physical drive.

Earlier, I was only using this utility for mounting purposes but later I realized that I can also create iso from DVD of my Windows 10 disc.

And here are the steps to follow:-

1. First, download WinCDEmu from the given link.

2. Now double-click on the setup file that you have downloaded and then click on the Install button.

6. At last, it will start creating the ISO. ( may take a few minutes )

And Done! One thing which I really liked about these image files is that you can easily create bootable USB from ISO file anytime.

However, the interface looks a little outdated like the XP version but does the work perfectly. Apart from that, I have seen many users “How do I create an iso file from a cd in Windows 10” using this tool.
