A bootable open-source partition editor for resizing and moving drives.

GParted is a free graphical tool for managing disk partitions, including creating, deleting, resizing, moving, labeling, and copying partitions. It supports many common Linux, Windows, and Unix-style file systems and can be run from GParted Live media on x86-64 computers.

Why it stands out

  • Runs as free software under the GNU GPL, so it can be used, shared, studied, and modified without payment.
  • GParted Live lets the tool be used on machines that normally run Linux, Windows, or macOS, without needing a native install on those systems.
  • Covers an unusually wide range of file systems for a graphical partition manager.
  • Focused specifically on partition operations rather than bundling unrelated system-maintenance features.

Good to know

  • GParted Live is described for x86-64 based computers, so other hardware architectures may not be supported by that route.
  • A minimum of 1 GB of RAM is required to use all application features.
  • Supported actions vary by file system, so users should check the detailed feature matrix before planning a specific operation.
  • Using it on Windows or macOS systems generally means booting from external GParted Live media rather than running it as a standard native app.
