Raspberry Pi Imager, a tool that helps users easily write OS images onto an SD card, which can then be used to boot the Raspberry Pi, has just released version 2.0, now available for download.

The new version marks the most substantial change since the tool debuted five years ago, by introducing a redesigned interface, a guided setup wizard, and built-in support for configuring Raspberry Pi Connect before the first boot.

Imager 2.0 reorganizes the entire workflow into a clear, step-by-step sequence. Each stage now occupies the full window, giving more room for explanations, validation messages, and contextual links. The new wizard guides users through selecting their device, choosing an operating system, picking a storage medium, configuring system settings, and writing the image.
