DiskMaker X for Mac

Create a macOS Bootable Drive — without the fuss

Making a bootable macOS installer with the stock utilities can be awkward and error-prone. If you’re not comfortable with Terminal commands or detailed system settings, it’s easy to get stuck. DiskMaker X removes much of that complexity by providing a straightforward interface and automating the steps that otherwise trip people up.

What DiskMaker X does for you

DiskMaker X guides you through selecting the macOS installer and the target USB drive, prepares the media, and handles the low-level copying so you don’t have to type commands. Its graphical workflow is aimed at users who want a reliable boot disk without learning the intricacies of the command line.
