What is an ISO File Extension?

ISO files are also known as disc images. They are duplicates of the contents of optical discs, like CDs or DVDs. These files contain more than just files and folders, but also important file system information regarding the disc’s structure. ISO files are commonly used to create backup discs or to distribute software programs. They can be used as a substitute for actual discs, and they allow users to run software without needing to load a CD or a DVD.

WinRAR is the World’s third most installed software after Google Chrome & Acrobat Reader, making it the World’s most popular compression file utility!
