One image library
Every captured Windows setup in one place, with categories, versions and one-click rollback.
Your Image. Your Forge.
ImageForge saves a finished Windows PC to your own image library, then reimages the next machine from a USB stick or over the network, with the right drivers, computer name and domain join. It runs on your network: no cloud account, no subscription.
Want help with your first deployment?Illustration: the ImageForge console sending one Windows image to four PCs, each moving through network boot, download, apply, drivers and naming until all four are ready.
See the workflow
A short product tour, then a hands-on preview of the technician screens.
Capture a golden image, deploy it across a lab, and see every PC named, joined and loaded with its drivers.
Technician boot USB
The boot USB runs a guided, keyboard-driven client that works on any PC, even one without a mouse. Try a sample deployment: click the screen and press Enter, or use the buttons.
How it works
No task sequences to write and no deployment share to maintain. Technicians follow a guided screen on the boot USB, and the Forge keeps everything in one place.
Install Windows, your apps and your settings on one machine, exactly the way the others should be.
Run Capture Readiness inside Windows and resolve its blockers. Then boot from the ImageForge USB to capture Windows into your image library.
Boot each PC from USB or the network, pick the image and confirm the disk. ImageForge applies Windows, adds the right drivers, names the PC and restarts it.
Features
One installer sets up your Forge: a Windows service with a web console your whole team can use, and boot media your technicians carry to every PC.
Every captured Windows setup in one place, with categories, versions and one-click rollback.
Upload a model's driver pack once. ImageForge adds the right one to each PC it deploys.
Deployment profiles set the computer name, join the domain, activate Windows, create the local admin and skip the setup screens.
Choose what each PC gets before anyone touches it. The technician boots it, confirms the disk and moves on.
RAID, AHCI or NVMe: ImageForge adds the disk-controller driver the PC needs, so Windows starts either way.
Slipstream the latest Windows updates into an image and strip preinstalled apps, without rebuilding it.
Follow every deployment from the console, with a full audit trail and each PC's logs a click away.
Send job events to Slack, Teams or your RMM, and back up the whole Forge on a schedule.
Looking for our first 5 real-world testers
ImageForge grew out of real Windows deployment work. I’m looking for IT admins, MSP technicians and homelab users to try one capture and deployment, and tell me what works and what needs fixing.
The standard 14-day Pro trial includes one Forge and one technician seat. Internet is needed to start and at least every 72 hours. Prefer to explore yourself? Start the free trial.
Security
Windows images carry licensed software and company settings. ImageForge keeps them on your own server and checks every step before a disk is erased.
Images live on your server and only move between it and your PCs. Purchased licenses activate without internet.
The console and imaging API use HTTPS. The boot client verifies your Forge before sending a technician's code. PXE boot services have separate network requirements; see the network guide.
Admins run the console. Technicians sign in with their own codes, which you can time-limit or revoke, and every job is logged against them.
Deploys name the exact disk, refuse the boot USB, and need two separate confirmations before anything is wiped.
Wrong-architecture images, a disk that is too small and a laptop on battery are all caught while the PC is still untouched.
The installer and every program on the boot media are code-signed, and each download is published with a SHA-256 checksum.
ImageForge is proven on physical PCs across multiple networks, not just virtual machines. We publish only what we have tested.

FAQ
No. You start the trial from the ImageForge console with a name and email address. No payment details are asked for.
Capture and deploy stop, but your images, drivers and settings stay on your server. Activate a purchased key and everything works again.
No. Images are stored on your own ImageForge server and only travel between it and your PCs. When the server has internet access it checks for updates and license status; those checks never include your images.
No. The boot USB works with Secure Boot on, and so does the default network boot mode.
No. Most teams start with a USB drive. Network boot is optional and can be turned on later when you want PCs to start ImageForge without plugging in a drive.
64-bit Intel and AMD PCs, Snapdragon (ARM64) PCs, and virtual machines, with the disk controller in RAID, AHCI or NVMe mode. Driver packs you upload are matched to each PC model automatically.
Yes. ImageForge identifies the target PC and applies the matching driver pack during deployment.
Tell us within 14 days of purchase. We'll first try to fix it, and if we can't make it work in your environment, we refund the purchase. See the refund policy.
No. Software updates are currently included with the perpetual license at no additional charge.
No. Each PC needs its own valid Windows license for the edition you deploy. ImageForge can activate each PC with the license stored in its own firmware, or install a product key you already own.
ImageForge is built for teams that want a lighter, bench-friendly deployment system without a full enterprise imaging rollout. It can sit alongside larger tooling, but it does not depend on it.
