ISO Extractor

An .iso is a disc image: a single file holding the whole contents of a CD or DVD in the ISO 9660 layout. Open an .iso right in your browser, browse the files inside, and download the ones you need — or repackage everything into a standard .zip. No mounting, no burning, no installs, no uploads.

    How to open a ISO file

    Drag your disc image onto the box above or click it to pick an .iso file. The tool opens the image in your browser, lists every file with its size, and lets you save any file on its own or choose Download as .zip to repackage the whole image into a standard ZIP — no need to mount the ISO or burn a disc.

    The decoding runs on your own machine: the .iso is handed to libarchive, compiled to WebAssembly and driven from a background worker so the page stays responsive, with nothing to upload and no software to install. ISO 9660 with Rockridge extensions is read, so long filenames come through intact.

    That worker pulls roughly 1 MB of WebAssembly from this site, and that decoder is the only thing this page ever requests. The honest test takes a few seconds: open your browser’s network panel, drop in an .iso, and read the list. Every request is for the decoder; your image is not among them.

    No file size limit is imposed here, since there is no upload and no server quota. Disc images can be large, though: the .iso and each file lifted out of it sit in memory while you work, so what actually caps you is the free RAM on your device. A few hundred megabytes are comfortable on a desktop; a multi-gigabyte DVD image may not fit on a phone.

    Working with another format? Open a ZIP, a .tar.gz, or convert a RAR or 7z to ZIP.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I extract files from an ISO?
    To extract files from an .iso, drop it onto the box above or click to choose it. The ISO extractor opens the disc image in your browser, lists the files inside with their sizes, and lets you download them individually or choose Download as .zip to repackage everything. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
    Can I open an ISO without mounting or burning it?
    Yes. The LK Forge ISO extractor reads the disc image directly in your browser, so you do not need to mount the ISO, burn a disc or install any software. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
    Which ISO images are supported?
    Standard ISO 9660 disc images, including those with Rockridge extensions for long filenames, are read. Some installer or hybrid images use other filesystems (such as UDF) for part of their contents, and files stored that way may not be listed.
    Is it safe to open my ISO here?
    Yes, the ISO extractor is safe for private images. There is no server side to this tool at all. The .iso is opened by a WebAssembly decoder in a background worker inside your browser, and every extracted file stays in your device’s memory until you download it or press Clear.
    Is there a size limit for the ISO?
    The tool imposes no limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical cap is your device’s memory: the image and each extracted file are held in the tab while you work. A few hundred megabytes are comfortable on a desktop, but a multi-gigabyte DVD image may exhaust a phone’s memory.
