It is developed by Balena (formerly Resin.io) and has become the de-facto standard for reliably creating bootable media, especially for single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi, as well as for flashing live USBs for other operating systems.

I was looking for a replacement for old and buggy image-writing software. BalenaEtcher is incredibly simple and reliable. Three steps, you can't select the wrong drive, and everything is verified. I recommend it to everyone!"
