DISKSNAP
Bootable drives and backups for SD cards and USB sticks.
WHAT IT DOES
-
Make Bootable
Write a bootable image to a USB stick or SD card: Linux ISOs like Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi images and Windows 10/11 installers.
-
Backup to .dsnap
Save a whole SD card or USB drive to a compressed
.dsnapfile. Empty, zero-filled space shrinks to almost nothing, and the file can be checked after saving. -
Restore a backup
Write a
.dsnapbackup back onto a drive at least as large as the original. The whole backup is checked before anything is erased. -
Clone
Copy one USB drive or SD card directly to another of the same size or larger. The source is only read; the destination is overwritten after confirmation. Verification is on by default.
-
Works offline
Everything runs on your PC. No account, no cloud, no uploads.
-
Free to use
All four tools are free for personal and business use, with no account, activation or paid unlock.
HOW IT WORKS
-
Plug in
Insert the SD card or USB drive you want to work with.
-
Choose
Pick Backup, Restore, Clone or Make Bootable, then select the source and destination for your task.
-
Snap
DiskSnap checks with you before anything is overwritten, then verifies the result (on by default).

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- A Windows PC with an Intel or AMD 64-bit processor (x64). Use a currently supported Windows 11 edition. This is not an ARM-native or 32-bit build.
- The included .NET 10 runtime also supports certain Windows 10 LTSC/Enterprise editions. Ordinary Windows 10 Home/Pro is outside that support list; compatibility is not a promise of continued support. See Microsoft’s supported Windows versions.
- Administrator permission is needed to install and to perform operations requiring direct drive access.
- A USB drive or SD card and a suitable reader. Internal and Windows system drives cannot be selected.
- Enough space for your backup. A restore or clone target must be at least as large as the original source drive.
- The installer includes .NET 10.0.12; no separate runtime download is required. Drive operations work offline.
