Why cdBurner is different
Unlike Nero, ImgBurn or the others, cdBurner needs no heavy software — just a 2-second helper, and your files never leave your PC.
- 100% free — no trial, no watermark, no nag screens.
- Private — files are written locally and never uploaded to a server.
- No bloatware — one small signed helper, not a heavy install.
- Built on Windows' native IMAPI2 engine, so your discs read everywhere.
