MagicISO (also referred to as MagicISO Maker) is a CD/DVD image shareware utility that can extract, edit, create, and burn disc image files. It offers the possibility of converting between ISO and CUE/BIN and their proprietary Universal Image Format disc image format.

It is able to read and write to disc images without decompressing or moving the files. It can also convert the data from existing CD/DVD-ROMs to disc images and create bootable image files (file extension .bif). MagicISO can mount disc images with the addition of MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD Manager.

The trial version cannot handle disc images larger than 300 MB. MagicISO is currently produced by MagicISO, Inc.

Universal Image FormatorUIF is a proprietary disc image format for CDs and DVDs designed for MagicISO. Compared to the widespread simpler image formats like .iso and .bin, UIF adds compression, password-protected encryption, MD5 checksums, and multi-session images.^{[4] [5]} MagicISO supports CIF files created by Easy CD Creator, but only data CDs (ISO 9660 compatibles), not audio CDs. MagicISO also installs a context menu which is not removed with the software when uninstalled; rather, it remains on the system you installed the program on and is not easily removed. MagicDisc, known as MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD Manager, is a freeware virtual drive counterpart to MagicISO. It is a separate application needed to mount discs virtually. MagicDisc can also decompress UIF images to ISO format.^[6]
