Why cdBurner is different
Every other burner is a program you install. cdBurner isn't: it runs in your browser with one tiny background helper, and it's free.
- 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.
