Write a Raspberry Pi image to SD
Choose an image, write it to an SD card, and verify the written bytes.
Choose a Raspberry Pi image
Use the Raspberry Pi catalog or open a local .img, .raw, or compressed file. Downloads can be paused, resumed, cancelled, or retried.
Bootable verifies a publisher checksum when available. Otherwise, it labels the download HTTPS-only.
Check capacity
Bootable measures the expanded image and checks that it fits the card.
Bad-block and fake-capacity tests erase the card. Use expendable media.
Write the card
- Choose a catalog image or local file.
- Insert the SD card through a removable or USB-attached reader.
- Select the whole card, not a mounted partition.
- Review the expanded size, physical target, and permanent erasure.
- Write and wait for read-back verification.
The whole card will be erased. Check the card and reader before writing.
Verify the write
Bootable reads back the written range and compares SHA-256. This does not confirm that the image supports your Pi model.
After the write
Wait for the safe-removal result. Rewrite the full image after a cancellation or verification failure.
