Introduction
For an introductory explanation of ISO images and burning them see IsoImage.This page details how to create an ISO (.iso) file from a CD or DVD.
Why would I want to do this?
- Creating images of discs that you copy frequently. This means that you can make copies in the future without the source disc — see BurningIsoHowto.
- Creating images of discs you use frequently so that you do not have to have the disc in the drive to access them — see MountIso.
Creating an iso image from a non-music CD or DVD
GUI (Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, Focal Fossa)
- Insert the CD or DVD.
- Wait for the disk icon to display in the Dock. Your CD or DVD has now been mounted and can be read by Ubuntu.
- Click the «Show Applications» icon in the Dock to display a Search box.
- In the Search box, type «disks», then click the Disks application to open it.
- In Disks, click the «CD/DVD Drive» entry on the left to display the CD or DVD volume. (Don’t touch anything else in Disks unless you know what you’re doing.)
- Click the menu icon in the top-right, then click «Create Disk Image. » to display the Create Disk Image dialog, as shown in this screenshot: create-file-rename.png
- Enter a name for the .iso file and choose where you want to save the file.
- Click «Start Creating. » to start creating the .iso image of the CD or DVD. Then wait until the progress indicator in Disks shows that the image creation is completed.
You can check your new .iso file by double-clicking it to mount it, then browsing it as you would if it were a CD or DVD.
Command line
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso (assuming /dev/cdrom is where the CD is mounted, and file.iso is the name you want to give the ISO, in the current directory)
Creating an iso image from a music CD or DVD
- Insert the CD or DVD.
- Wait for Sound Juicer to pop-up with the songs on the disc
- Close Sound Juicer
- Click «Places» > «Computer» (the menu at the top of your screen)
- Right-click the icon of the CD
- Select «Copy Disc. «
- Alongside «Copy disc to:», change the drop-down to read «File image»
- Click «Write»
- Choose where you want to save the file
- Click OK
The icon of the CD can also be found on the Desktop after the disc has been inserted. This icon can also be used for steps 5 — 10.

Как смонтировать ISO-файл в Linux
Файл ISO — это архивный файл, который обычно содержит полный образ компакт-диска или DVD. Например, большинство операционных систем, таких как Windows, Linux и macOS, распространяются в виде образов ISO.
Файлы ISO можно извлечь с помощью популярных архивных программ, смонтировать на устройстве с петлей и записать на USB-накопитель или пустой компакт-диск.
В этом руководстве мы объясним, как монтировать файлы ISO в Linux.
Как смонтировать файлы ISO с помощью командной строки
Команда mount позволяет прикреплять (монтировать) файлы ISO в определенной точке монтирования в дереве каталогов.
Инструкции в этом разделе должны работать с любым дистрибутивом Linux, включая Ubuntu, Debian и CentOS.
- Начните с создания точки монтирования, это может быть любое место, которое вы хотите:
sudo mount /path/to/image.iso /media/iso -o loop
Монтирование файлов ISO с помощью Gnome
Если вы используете дистрибутив Linux, который использует Gnome в качестве среды рабочего стола, вы можете смонтировать файл ISO с помощью приложения для монтирования образа диска Gnome.
Найдите ISO-файл, который вы хотите смонтировать, и щелкните его правой кнопкой мыши. В контекстном меню выберите «Открыть с помощью Disk Image Mounter».
После подключения образа на рабочем столе должен появиться значок устройства. Дважды щелкните по нему, и откроется файловый менеджер Gnome.
Чтобы отключить файл ISO, щелкните правой кнопкой мыши значок устройства и выберите «Размонтировать».
Выводы
В Linux вы можете монтировать файлы ISO с помощью команды mount . Пользователи настольных компьютеров могут использовать графические инструменты, такие как Gnome Disk Image Mounter.

How to Create an ISO File in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Most operating system and programs especially large one comes in an ISO format containing all required installation files. An ISO file or an ISO image is a perfect representation of all file and folders contained in a CD /DVD. Alternatively, you can say that it is a package all installation files and folder in one single file in an ISO format.
You can easily back up or archive the files and folders into an ISO file. You can make that ISO file to act it as an external drive, make bootable USBs or CD/DVD to later use for installation, save as a backup or distributing it over to someone.
- Create an installation disc by Burning to USB or CD/DVD.
- Mount as a virtual drive.
- Use for installation of OS or software programs.
In this article, I will describe some ways to create an ISO file in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Using Mkisofs utility
Under Linux, you can create an ISO image from a folder using a command line argument with the Mkisofs utility. You can use Mkisofs to automatically backup the data with the option to exclude some individual files if necessary. It supports wildcards as well.
The basic syntax of the command is:
$ mkisofs -o [filename.iso] [ directory_path]
-o defines the file name of the ISO you want to create followed by the directory you want to backup or store an ISO file.
For instance, I want to create an ISO file from the directory /home/tin/Documents/backup and save it as backup.iso file:
$ mkisofs –o backup.iso /home/tin/Documents/backup
It will create the backup.iso file and save it in the current directory.
Using dd command in Terminal to build an ISO file
Basically using dd command, we can create copies of data whether they are file or folders, partitions, or CD/DVDs. We can also make use of dd command to create ISO files.
The basic syntax of dd command is:
If= Tells command from where to input the source data.
Of= Tells command where to define the output.
For instance, I will type the following command to copy and save the contents of the drive as an ISO file named diskimage.iso:
$ sudo dd if= /dev/sdb of= diskimage.iso
The ISO image named diskimage.iso will be created in the current directory.
Using Brasero utility to make an ISO file
You can use Linux disk burning utility Brasero to create an ISO file. Older versions of Ubuntu include built-in Brasero utility. However, in 16.04 and the newer version, you have to manually install this utility.
To install Brasero, press Ctrl+Alt+T to launch Terminal.
Enter the following command in Terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install brasero
Once you have done with the installation, open the application.
To open the Brasero application, Press windows key or click on dash icon in the bottom left corner of the desktop to open Dash menu.
Then search for Brasero application by typing its name in the search bar. When the application appears, click on it to open it.
In the Brasero application window, click on the Data project option.
Then click on the + icon to start adding files to the new project.
From the window that appears, select the individual files or directories then click on Add.
You will notice that files are added in the application. Click on Burn.
Choose the location to save the ISO file. Specify the name for the ISO file with .iso extension and click on Create Image.
Once finished, you will be notified that the image has been successfully created.
Hence all above were the different ways using which you can create ISO files. Once you have ISO file, you can save it as a backup, use it as virtual CD/DVD, burn it on USB or CD/DVD and share it with someone.

This wikiHow teaches you how to turn a group of files into an ISO file on a Linux computer. You’ll use the Linux command line to do this.
From Files
Gather your ISO files in the home directory. Place any files that you want to turn into an ISO file in a folder inside of the home folder.
- Linux distributions vary in appearance, so you may have to look for the Terminal app inside of a folder in the Menu section.
- You might also find Terminal on the desktop, or in a toolbar on the top or bottom of the screen.
- For example: to create an ISO file named «blueberry» from files in a folder called «pie», you would type in mkisofs -o blueberry.iso /home/username/pie .
- File names and folder names are case-sensitive, so make sure you capitalize anything that needs to be capitalized.
- To create a multiple-word name, place underscores between words (e.g., «blueberry pie» becomes «blueberry_pie»).
- You may be prompted to enter your password before the ISO file is created. If so, type in your password and press ↵ Enter .
From a CD
Insert the CD-RW that you want to rip. You cannot rip an ISO file from CDs with read/write protection (e.g., audio CDs or movie DVDs).
- Linux distributions vary in appearance, so you may have to look for the Terminal app inside of a folder in the Menu section.
- You might also find Terminal on the desktop, or in a toolbar on the top or bottom of the screen.
- For example, you would type of=/home/username/pudding.iso to create an ISO file called «pudding» in the home directory.
- If you have multiple CD drives attached to the computer, your CD drives will be labelled from 0 up (e.g., the first drive will be labelled something like «cd0», the second will be «cd1», and so on).
- You may be prompted to enter your password before the ISO file is created. If so, type in your password and press ↵ Enter .

Most Linux distributions have a file manager that will allow you to create an ISO file using the right-click menu as well.
Not all versions of Linux function identically to one another. If you’re unable to find your CD’s path or the ISO command isn’t working, you can check your distribution’s manual online.
