DROFUS turns your Android device into a portable image writer for installing operating systems on PCs and single board computers. It works with common image formats and supports a wide range of USB storage connected through OTG. Therefore, you can prepare installers and recovery media without a computer. The app also includes power user controls for setup choices and provides an optional Pro upgrade for offline use. Moreover, it offers a simple workflow that guides you from image selection to a verified write, so first time users and experts can finish tasks quickly.
Key features
Write ISO, DMG, and IMG on Android
DROFUS lets you create bootable media for Windows, modern Linux distributions, Intel macOS installers, and Raspberry Pi from your phone. You pick an image and the app handles the write process with clear status feedback.
Manual partition and file system control
For advanced use, DROFUS offers GPT or MBR partition schemes and NTFS or FAT32 file systems. You can match firmware needs such as UEFI or Legacy and choose the format that fits large files or broader compatibility.
Windows setup helpers
DROFUS includes tools tailored for Windows images. It can bypass some Windows 11 checks, split a large install wim when needed, and apply automated setup options to speed up installation.
Raw write mode for Linux and ARM images
The app provides raw writing for Linux, DMG, and ARM images so the original boot structure is preserved. This helps ensure images made for specific boards or distros boot as intended.
Broad device support via OTG
DROFUS works with USB flash drives, SD card readers, and external SSD or HDD when connected through a reliable OTG adapter. No root is required for OTG devices, and only the internal SD slot needs root access.
Flexible access and Pro upgrade
You can use DROFUS for free with ads and a coin system for certain formats. The Pro option removes ads and coins and also enables offline use when you need to work without a network.
Safety tips for using DROFUS
Data integrity depends on verified images and stable hardware. Therefore, always confirm checksums before you write. Use SHA256 or SHA512 provided by the OS vendor to verify the ISO, DMG, or IMG. Moreover, keep the app in the foreground during the entire write to avoid interruptions and disable battery savers for DROFUS while writing. Use a high quality OTG adapter and a known good USB drive or SSD, and keep your phone above 20 percent battery or plug it into power. Finally, back up any important files on the target drive since writing will erase its contents.
Official image sources for DROFUS users
For the best results, download images from official vendor pages. After you download, verify the checksum and proceed to write with DROFUS.
Disclaimer: Writing images can fail due to bad downloads, damaged media, or unstable connections. Use official sources, verify checksums, and follow the steps above to reduce risk.
Media and speed guidance for DROFUS
Different projects benefit from different formats. FAT32 is widely compatible, however single files above 4 GB require NTFS or image features like WIM splitting for Windows. Also, USB 3 drives and readers usually write faster than older devices, although real speeds depend on your phone, cable, and OTG adapter. If a system fails to boot, try switching between GPT for UEFI and MBR for Legacy in DROFUS, then rewrite the media with the matching scheme.
How to create a bootable USB with DROFUS
This quick guide explains the basic flow for ISO to USB on Android using DROFUS. The same steps apply to DMG and IMG files when supported for your target device.
- Connect your USB drive, SD card reader, or external SSD to your phone with a reliable OTG adapter.
- Open DROFUS, grant storage and USB permissions, and wait until your drive appears in the device list.
- After the drive is detected, tap Select Image and choose your ISO, DMG, or IMG file. If needed, set partition scheme and file system based on your firmware type.
- Review the summary, then tap Write. Keep DROFUS in the foreground and avoid using other apps until the write completes.
- Then safely eject the drive from DROFUS, connect it to the target computer, and test boot. Change firmware boot order if the device does not boot from USB.

For best results, download Windows images from Microsoft and confirm the SHA256 before writing with DROFUS.
Do I need root to write images with DROFUS?
No, DROFUS does not need root for USB devices connected through OTG. Root is only required if you want to write to the internal SD card slot, and most users do not need that.
Which image formats and operating systems does DROFUS support?
