Rufus for Mac ⚠️ - 2025 Edition

Unfortunately, Rufus is not available for macOS since it’s a Windows-only application. However, there are several excellent alternatives for creating bootable USB drives on Mac:

MeowUSB - Best for Windows Installation

MeowUSB is a native macOS application specifically designed for creating Windows bootable USB drives:

• Simple drag & drop interface
• Automatic Windows ISO download
• Built-in USB formatter
• Native Apple Silicon support
• No command line needed

Disk Utility + Terminal - Built-in Solution

For Linux ISOs, you can use macOS’s built-in tools:

1. Format the USB drive:

   • Open Disk Utility
   • Select your USB drive
   • Click “Erase”
   • Choose “MS-DOS (FAT)” format

2. Write the ISO:

   • Open Terminal
   • Use dd command: sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/diskN bs=1m
   • Replace /path/to/iso with your ISO location
   • Replace diskN with your USB drive number (find using diskutil list)
