What you can customize

Folder color

Choose any hue and adjust brightness while retaining the familiar Mac folder shape.

Symbols and images

Use a built-in icon, paste from the clipboard, or drop your own PNG or SVG onto the canvas.

Text labels

Add a year, project code, client name, or category with adjustable fonts and opacity.

Layered artwork

Place artwork inside the front and back parts of the folder for a more integrated result.

Recommended Mac export settings

  • Format: PNG for the Finder copy-and-paste workflow.
  • Resolution: 256×256 for normal use; 512×512 for a larger source image.
  • Overlay: Prefer simple shapes and high contrast so the icon remains legible in Finder's smaller views.
PNG and resolution choices for a custom Mac folder icon
PNG is recommended when applying custom artwork through Finder's Get Info window.

Private, local image processing

The editor performs the composition in your browser. Custom images do not need to be uploaded to an account, making it suitable for client logos, personal photographs, and internal project artwork.

Create the icon in your browser

No account is required, and images stay on your device.
