Can I Upload an ISO File From My Local Computer to Vultr?

Yes. While you cannot directly upload an ISO file from your local computer to Vultr, you can make the file available by first hosting it on a publicly accessible server. For example, you can upload the ISO to an HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP server and then provide the absolute URL to Vultr. Once the upload completes, the ISO will appear in your ISOs list, where you can use it to deploy new instances or attach it to existing ones.

ISO Upload Requirements

When preparing your ISO for upload, ensure it meets the following conditions:

• The file size must be 10 GB or smaller.
• The filename must end with the .iso extension.
• The URL must be an absolute path without authentication tokens or query parameters.
• Each account can store up to two ISO images at a time. If needed, you can delete existing ISOs to free up space.
• Windows ISOs are not supported.

This provides flexibility when you need to deploy operating systems, recovery tools, or utilities not included in Vultr’s public ISO library.
