About .CUE files
What a .CUE file is, and where it comes from.
A .cue file is a small plain-text index that describes how a separate, larger file is split into tracks. It contains no audio or disc data itself. Open it in foobar2000 or VLC to play a cue-indexed album, or use AnyBurn for a BIN/CUE disc image. If the cue "won't open," the media file was probably renamed. Fix the FILE line in any text editor.

Can I open a 4 GB+ .CUE file?
Yes. The viewer never loads the whole file. It reads the disc's directory structure piece by piece, so even large DVD and Blu-ray images open in a second.
How do I know if an ISO is bootable?
Look at the Boot panel. If the image has an El Torito boot record, we show whether it boots on classic BIOS PCs, on UEFI computers, or both.
I have a .bin and a .cue file. Which one do I open?
Open the .bin file: it holds the data. The .cue file is a small text file describing the tracks; drop it on its own to see the track list.
Can I browse a virtual machine disk (VHD, VMDK)?

Is anything uploaded?
No. Your .CUE file is read directly from your device by your browser.
