# Ventoy

[Ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html) is a very powerful and useful tool that allows users to copy many .iso files on an USB drive and chose which one to start during the boot stage. With Ventoy it is possible to have many distros on the same drive without the need to format it at any time.

It needs to be formatted only once with the provided USB formatting tools:&#x20;

* [Linux GUI](https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_linux_gui.html)
* [Linux Web UI](https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_linux_webui.html)

Then it is only necessary to copy valis .iso files on the USB drive.
