Raspberry Pi Imager

Raspberry Pi Imager is the official Raspberry Pi Foundation application for flashing images, ROMs, and operating systems with Raspberry Pi. With it, you can install an image on a USB stick, SSD, or microSD card and insert it into your Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi Imager has several images included by default, including general-purpose systems such as Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, and Manjaro. You can also install LibreELEC, OSMC, Octopi, RetroPie, Recalbox, Home Assistant, and basically any operating system designed for the ARM architecture of these small computers.

Flashing an image with Raspberry Pi Imager is as easy as choosing the system, selecting the storage drive where you want to install it, and hitting write. In addition, you can preset some settings in the distro you install, including the Wi-Fi password or the time zone. Thanks to this, you can remotely control some distros from your computer or device without having to connect the Raspberry Pi to a monitor.

Therefore, if you want to install an image on Raspberry Pi, this is the best tool on the market for this purpose. It works with all versions of Raspberry Pi, as all the tool does is decompress the image to an external storage drive.
