About YUMI

Since its launch as one of the first multiboot USB tools ever created, YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) has been at the forefront of multiboot USB creation. It simplifies the process of storing, booting, and managing multiple operating systems, tools, and utilities on a single USB flash drive. Designed to be user-friendly, YUMI empowers you to create custom bootable drives with minimal effort.

Whether you’re running Linux distributions, Windows installers, antivirus scanners, or recovery tools, YUMI offers a streamlined and intuitive way to prepare your USB for any task. Our mission is to make multibooting from USB as accessible and seamless as possible—whether for personal experimentation, diagnostics, or professional use.

What Makes YUMI Unique?

YUMI goes beyond simple bootable USB creation by enabling users to install and manage multiple ISOs on a single flash drive. You can run a Linux distro today, troubleshoot with a rescue tool tomorrow, or install Windows—without the need to reformat the drive. With support for persistent storage, some Live Linux distributions can even save changes and settings between reboots.

Other standout features include:

  • Support for multiple operating systems and tools on a single USB drive.
  • Easy addition and removal of ISOs with minimal effort.
  • Integrated support for persistent storage on select Linux distributions.
  • Functions as a Windows Media Creation Tool or to make Windows boot from USB (link opens in a new tab).
  • A user-friendly interface designed for all experience levels—from beginners to advanced users.
