DD for Windows

DD for Windows is a port of the classic Unix dd utility for Windows systems. It allows you to copy and convert raw data to and from block devices like USB drives, hard disks, or disk images using the command line.

Typical uses include:

  • Writing ISO/IMG files directly to disks
  • Creating disk backups or clones
  • Wiping disks with zeroed or random data
  • Low-level data recovery and forensics

Warning: dd writes raw data directly to devices. Double-check the target disk before running to avoid data loss.

DD for Windows is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It is a lightweight tool with no GUI, intended for advanced users familiar with command-line interfaces.
