balenaEtcher for Mac is a tool for centralizing the whole process of burning disk images to external USB or SD drives in one place. This tool will process the image, format the external drive, and burn it in the correct format so that it will be self-bootable on the device for which it was intended.

This software is specially designed to be used by anyone with limited computer knowledge. In addition to having an extremely simple and intuitive interface, it also helps you avoid making any mistakes in the process. For example, the tool hides the local mass storage drives to prevent you from confusing them with the disk you've connected. Small details like that will make your life a whole lot easier.

balenaEtcher supports ISO, IMG, ZIP, DMG, DSK, RAW, XZ, BZ2, HDDIMG, GZ, and ETCH formats, so the possibilities are practically limitless. You can record Linux distributions for installation from a pendrive or insert a special operating system on SD cards to be detected by a Raspberry Pi. You can even use it to create a Mac installation and recovery drive.

balenaEtcher for Mac is also completely free and open source, so it doesn't include any ads that would otherwise complicate your experience.
