UIF to ISO Converter GUI
This tool has been superseded by the original uif2iso converter (© Luigi Auriemna), which now has it’s own GUI. Use that.
Recently I made a converter GUI for daa2iso. Now I’ve decided to follow up with another similar tool – the UIF to ISO converter GUI π It’s almost the same as the previous one, except that it operates on files with the UIF extension.
The original converter application was created by Luigi Auriemna. It’s a command-line tool, which means the average computer user wouldn’t know how to use it. That’s why I made this version that has a more familiar and simpler Windows-based interface (a.k.a GUI).
Features
Converter by Luigi Auriemna, interface by me – Janis Elsts.
- Converts UIF archives to ISO files. You can then burn the ISO file to a CD or DVD with one of the many freeware tools like ImgBurn. Pretty much all of CD/DVD tools support the ISO format.
- Simple Windows interface – two input boxes and a button.
- Easy to use – just drag-and-drop an UIF file into the tool’s window and click “Start conversion!”.
- Doesn’t require installation – extract the .zip file somewhere and run uif_converter.exe.
Download UIF to ISO converter
Download : uif2iso_gui.zip (230 Kb) and uif2iso.zip from this page.
Extract all the files from both archives to the same folder and run uif_converter.exe to begin. If that doesn’t work, try uif2iso.exe – it’s interface isn’t as good (IMHO), but it should work as well.
FAQ
Do I need to download the converter/interface separately?
Yes. Luigi – the author of the converter – asked me to do it this way.
When I tried to convert a file something just flashed on my screen and nothing else happened! Hmm?
That’s probably because the converter encountered an error. You can try to run it from the command prompt to see the particular error message – feel free to study the beginners guide to WinXP command prompt if you don’t know how.
I tried the command prompt and it still doesn’t work. What now?
Keep in mind that I only created the interface, not the actual conversion algorithms. So I probably can’t help you in this case. You might have better luck if you try to contact Luigi, the author of the converter.
I have a question about the GUI part, who do I ask?

Many thanks for such a quick response – vista seems to object to just about everything else I throw it it so I had to ask! I’ll give it a go & let you know if I find any probs, If I don’t then, thanks again in advance…
Just wanted to add my thanks as well π
Downloaded in seconds, ran in seconds, two files converted. Be proud of making these utils available
thanks thanks thanks!
Nice Job!
Does what you say it will do, no fuss no muss.
Ran using WINE under Ubuntu Gutsy just fine.
Does exactly what it says it will do! Thank You! I was dreading purchasing MagicIso because of their lack of customer support. Thanks again!
Tried running on Vista but just got the the cmd screen “flash”, so actually ran it from a commad prompt and got the error msg “wrong bbis signature”. Has anyone else had that?
I’d guess that means the file you have is not recognized by the current version of the converter.
Awesome tool, I give thanks once again to the people willing to put time and effort into helping the world for free. Without people like you the net would be a smaller world or everyone would be giving money to fat cat corporations to further fund their strangle on the free world. As a student i really appreciate free software, without it my degree wouldn’t be happening.
Thank you
[…] ways to call it: extract UIF, convert UIF, unpack UIF, depack UIF, mount UIF (via ISO) and much much more you can Ima…. No more “Magic” on Iso to have this proprietary filetype busted. Thanks to W-Shadow […]
Am I the only one with whom the program doesn’t seem to work? π
I just extracted all files that are included in “uif2iso_gui.zip” and “uif2iso.zip” into one folder, started the UIF converter, told it which uif.-file to process – only to get the message “uif2iso.exe was not found”. I don’t know any further… You do? π
The uif2iso.exe and uif_converter.exe should both be in the same folder when extracted. If they’re not, it will complain that “uif2iso.exe not found”.
Anyway, the newest version of UIF2ISO comes with it’s own “GUI”, so my app is a bit obsolete… oh well π
I can’t download the second zip file. I get a site in a language i don’t understand… looks like spanish but i could be mistaken
wonderful program.
did exactly like it said. straight to the point and no bs π
good job pal
This really works…
Thank you so much for this. I wrestled for ages with magiciso having a conniption and not recognising the .uif.Once I converted with this brilliant little programme, everything is working like a charm. Thanks again π
Nice tool, very basic, I needed this to put WinXP SP2 on my CD as an ISO image and then setup a dual boot for linux
nice job !!!
I too was dreading getting stuck with MagicISO.
87% and still kickin. Its a big file π
Just what I needed
Nice n’ simple to use & does the job quickly.
Massively appreciated,
Thanks
Fantastic job! Awesome, thnks so much. Though the file of the first link didnt work for me, kept on saying that “uif2iso.exe” not found. So i downloaded it from the 2nd link.
great job
