How to burn a CD on Windows 11 and Windows 10
Burning a CD on modern Windows is buried and clunky. cdBurner does it from your browser using the drive already in your PC — data discs or music CDs, in a few clicks.
Step by step
Connect the burn agent
Open onlinecdburner.com. The first time, install the tiny one-time helper so the page can reach your drive — after that it just works.
Insert a blank disc and pick your drive
Put a blank disc in your writer and select it. cdBurner shows the disc type and free space.
Add your files (or pick Audio CD for music)
Click Files or Folder and choose your files (or pick Audio CD for music). A live gauge shows whether it fits.
Set options and burn
Pick a write speed, keep Finalize on for maximum compatibility, then click Burn disc.
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.
