Convert .bin to .iso Online

How to convert BIN to ISO online

1. Drop the .bin file onto the box above. If it came with a .cue file you can drop both, but the .cue is not needed.
2. The data track is read and saved as a standard .iso, which downloads on its own.
3. The files on the disc are listed underneath, so you can also open the image and download single files without converting at all.

What is the difference between BIN and ISO?

An ISO stores only the useful part of a data disc: 2048 bytes of file-system data per sector. A BIN is a raw dump of the same disc that keeps everything the drive read: 2352 bytes per sector, including sync marks, sector headers and error-correction codes. That is why a BIN is about 15% larger than the ISO made from it, and why most software that mounts or unpacks ISO files refuses a BIN.

Converting is a matter of walking the dump sector by sector and keeping the 2048 data bytes from each one. Nothing is recompressed or guessed, so the ISO you get holds exactly the data the disc had.

Which images can it convert?

Raw data-track dumps with 2352-byte sectors, in Mode 1 or Mode 2 form: the usual .bin from a BIN/CUE pair, Alcohol .mdf files, and raw .img dumps. Dumps that also carry subchannel data (2448 bytes per sector) are recognised too.

On a mixed disc, the data track is converted and the audio tracks that follow it are left out, since an ISO cannot hold CD audio. Nero .nrg files and compressed formats such as .cso or .chd are different containers and are not converted here. A file that already is a plain ISO is recognised as one and needs no conversion.

A large file that stays on your computer

Disc images are hundreds of megabytes each, which makes upload-based converters slow and a poor fit for anything private. Here the image is read where it sits and the ISO is written to your browser’s temporary storage before it is handed to you as a download. No part of it is sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the .cue file?

No. The .cue only describes the track layout. The converter finds the data track by reading the sector marks in the .bin itself. If you drop both files, the .cue is ignored.

Why is the ISO smaller than the BIN?

A raw dump stores 2352 bytes per sector and an ISO stores the 2048 data bytes from each. The sync marks, headers and error-correction codes are dropped, and any audio tracks are left out.

Does it convert discs with audio tracks?

The data track is converted. Audio tracks cannot be stored in an ISO, so they are skipped. A pure audio CD dump has no data track and cannot be converted.

Can I get files out without converting?

Yes. The disc’s folders are listed below the drop zone. Preview a file, download one, or download a selection, the same as in the ISO extractor.

Is the image uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser with no server involved, and it keeps working if you go offline after the page has loaded.
