[Guy Fawkes]

You might be wondering how to burn ISO to USB on a Mac. If you're faced with this situation, there are many ways to accomplish this, but not all of them are reliable or effective. These inconveniences can be too much for most people.

Burning ISO to USB on a Mac using third-party software is the most practical option, as it takes less time. The process is simple: drag and drop the desired ISO file into the interface and wait a few minutes. The only limitation is that the ISO file size must not exceed 4 GB. Furthermore, you can burn other data at the same time!

We've listed many ways to accomplish this task using the most effective third-party software; let's take a look at each of these methods!

Method 1: How to burn ISO to USB on a Mac using Terminal?

If you want to burn something from ISO to USB on a Mac without third-party software, Terminal is the best option. Terminal is a command interface included with every macOS installation.

Step 1: To burn an ISO file to a USB flash drive, first make a backup, as the data will be erased. Format the drive after connecting it to your computer.

Step 2: Open Terminal on your Mac by going to Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.

Step 3: Enter the following command in the terminal, which will list all the disks:

diskutil list

The USB drive's name should be something like this: /dev/disk0, ./dev/disk1, /dev/disk2.

Step 4: Determine the drive's name and unmount it using the following command:

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2

Step 5: Next, type and enter the following command to begin writing the ISO to the USB:

sudo dd if=/path/to/win-iso-file of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m

Step 6: You may need to wait 10-15 minutes to an hour for the Mac to write the data to the USB. After that, enter this command to successfully eject the volume:

diskutil eject /dev/disk2
