Best Disk Cloning Software in 2026
FOG Project leads this chart of 26 (7.7/10, free plan). Lazesoft Recovery Suite is next (7.0/10, free plan), and Clonezilla is the next highest-placed with a free plan (6.7/10). Disk cloning software copies disk contents to another drive or image; the right choice depends on supported systems and the cloning options you need. If you plan to use a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO device, check Android support before choosing. The platform facts for this list do not name Android, so confirm whether a tool has an Android app rather than assuming phone support.

Choosing well
Which platforms does it need to run on?
Choose a tool that supports the operating system you use for cloning. The listed platform options include Windows, Linux and macOS, as well as self-hosted software, an API and iOS.
If you want to use an Android phone or tablet, check the tool's own platform details; Android is not named in the platform facts here.
Can I clone a disk for free?
Check whether the tool has a free plan and what the paid option costs before you start. A free plan is listed for FOG Project, Clonezilla, Rescuezilla, doClone and OSFClone.
HDClone has a free plan with paid access from €19.90, while Lazesoft Disk Image & Clone has a free plan with paid access from $39.99.
Which cloning options should I compare?
Compare clone scope, bootable media, resizing during cloning and sector cloning modes. These are separate capabilities in the comparison, so check the specific option you need.
Scheduled cloning is another comparison point if timing matters to your setup.
Can I restore a clone to different hardware?
Check the dissimilar-hardware restore details if the destination computer may differ from the original. The comparison includes this as a separate feature.
Can I inspect or change the software's code?
Check the licence if access to the code matters. Open-source status is part of the comparison, but a free plan does not by itself establish that software is open source.
Questions people ask
Is there disk cloning software for Android?
Android is not named in the platform facts for this list. Check a tool's platform details before relying on an Android app.
What should I compare when choosing disk cloning software?
Compare supported operating systems, free and paid options, clone scope, bootable media, resizing, sector modes, scheduling and restore to different hardware.
Can I find free disk cloning software?
Yes. Free-plan examples include FOG Project, Clonezilla, Rescuezilla, doClone and OSFClone. Check the individual tool's pricing details.
What does dissimilar-hardware restore mean in this comparison?
It is a listed comparison point for restoring to hardware that differs from the original. Check the tool's details to see whether it supports your situation.
Does a free disk cloning tool have to be open source?
No. Free-plan availability and open-source status are separate comparison points; check both if they matter to you.
