How to Create Cue file for a Bin file in 5 Steps
A friend of mine was recently struggling to burn a bin file which he had downloaded as the Cue file which usually accompanies the bin file was missing. So the in this post you will learn how to create cue file for a bin file. Let us imagine you have bin file called “abc.bin” for which you need to create a cue file.
Step 1: Create a separate folder and copy the file “abc.bin” into that folder
Step 2: Open Notepad. Notepad can be opened by Start>Run>type “Notepad”
Step 3: Copy and paste the the code that is given below in notepad and now paste your bin file name along with the extension over abc.bin.
FILE “abc.bin” BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
Step 4: Save the file by setting Save As type to All Files and not the default text document setting with the file name abc.cue in the same folder where you have copied the abc.bin file. Refer to the screenshot given below.
Step 5: Once you have done this you should be able to burn this bin file with any of your favourite burning application.
I hope this tutorial for creating a cue file would be immensely useful for you.

Great Tutorial Shiva Bhai …
Very nice… I can see that a ton of work and time went into this post. Nice example picture. This article should prove to help many people. Good work!
I am still amazed at the amount of people who try to copy ISOs over to cds without really burning the image to the cd. A co-worker did this just the other day. You know cd burners have been around too long for people to still be doing this. Nice article.
I remember the first time I did that! lol of course that was many years ago when it was all new to me!
Nice site Philip, a lot of personal touch does into that site.

I think you should warn your readers not to copy-paste the code you’ve written. I just did, and consequently after changing
abc.bin, it still didn’t work as the quotation marks I’ve copied are left and right (i.e., curved) double quotation marks and not simple (i.e., straight) ones. Or maybe you should also tell them to change the quotation marks to simple ones along with the filename after pasting.thanks – helped at a critical moment
yup, i agree with Aja Lapus. the right code should be as follows,
FILE “abc.bin” BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
and just as mentioned, replace the bin file with the one u need to burn… anyway, cool tip. frankly, never expected it to be this easy… thank you so much for sharing the tip though…
but guys i have a file of size 712 mb,which is not possible to edit by notepad or word. what to do then
it doesn’t work!!! =(
WHen i try to mount image with MagicISO, it says: “Can’t find the file or file isn’t CD image file!”
so i then checked my file properties and found out that its full name was layout.cue.txt.
wtf?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Well Kurt, what you did was you save the file in TEXT(.txt) format while using Notepad. You should save it as “All Files” which is available as second option.
That will solve it.
Does any of u guys know how to deal with Multiple .bin files while making the cue file??
Help needed!
FILE “abc.bin” BINARY
copy paste ur .bin file name. and RETYPE the quotation ” for both side. then it will work.
i tried 5 times until i found that quotation need to retype (copy paste from original post might in wrong format).
hope this helps..
I love you man, thank you so much.
What the hell people store bin files without the cue one, damn!
Will it work for both CD and DVD?
