Built for the real world
Six things PortaPuter does so you don't have to think about them.
Zero-downtime capture
VSS snapshots image your running system without interruption. No reboots, no downtime.
BitLocker aware
Backs up your recovery key, suspends encryption for capture, then re-enables it automatically.
Portable package
Your OS, apps, files, and the entire VM runtime — bundled into one folder you can copy anywhere.
No hypervisor needed
Ships with QEMU built in. Uses hardware acceleration when available, falls back gracefully.
UEFI + Legacy BIOS
Automatically detects firmware type and boots correctly on both UEFI and legacy BIOS systems.
Fully scriptable
Silent mode flags for unattended deployment. Fine-tune RAM, CPUs, and acceleration via vm.conf.
