Create a Custom Folder Icon

Want your favorite folders to stand out in an otherwise identical grid or row? Image2icon lets you make a folder look unique, with words or pictures detailing what’s inside.

Here are the simple steps.

To add an image to a folder, drag a picture to the app’s circular work area.

For text—or even an emoji—click the Aa button. Image2icon lets you customize the typeface, alignment, color, and size.

Every icon starts square, but Image2icon’s templates let you push the boundaries. Opt for an iOS-style icon, go retro with a CD-ROM case, or cover the entire folder with a photo using Folder (Full). There are over 20 icons to choose from.

Click the settings button to zoom, rotate, or fine-tune the position of your design horizontally or vertically. If you don’t want a transparent background, click the Background color swatch and select a color.

Now just drag a folder (or document) into the Image2icon window to apply your new design to its icon.

And don’t worry if you have second thoughts. Click the back-arrow button to reset Image2icon, click the Restore tab, then drag your folder or document into the window to revert to a generic icon.
