About Custom Folder Icons
Turn any Mac folder into a color-coded, icon-labeled marker you spot at a glance — no Terminal commands, no image editors, no workarounds. Custom Folder Icons ships with 264 built-in SF Symbol icons and a full-spectrum color engine, so you can mark, categorize, and personalize your folders in three steps: pick icon, set color, apply. ▸ FIND THE RIGHT ICON IN SECONDS — 264 ACROSS 15 CATEGORIES Browse Communication, Nature, Devices, Objects, Media, and 10 more categories — each icon composited live onto a folder shape. Search the full library instantly to find the right symbol. ▸ APPLY DIRECTLY TO ANY FOLDER Select a folder, choose your icon and color, tap Apply. The change appears in Finder immediately via macOS system APIs. Multi-resolution output (16–512 px) ensures crisp icons at every Finder view size. ▸ COLOR-CODE BY PROJECT, STATUS, OR MOOD Go beyond basic tinting. The per-pixel HSL engine replaces hue and saturation while preserving the folder's native 3D shading and luminance. Pick from 8 color presets — including Graphite, Dark, and Custom — or dial in any color with the hex color picker. ▸ MAKE HERO FOLDERS STAND OUT WITH PHOTOS Fill the folder shape with any image from your Mac. Adjust opacity from 0–100% to blend the photo with the folder's 3D form, creating a textured depth effect that turns folders into visual landmarks. ▸ LABEL FOLDERS WITHOUT A GRAPHICS TOOL Add a text label — PROJECTS, DOCS, ARCHIVE, URGENT — rendered directly on the folder icon. Choose from every system font on your Mac, sized from 8 to 144 points. ▸ USE ANY IMAGE AS YOUR FOLDER ICON Drop any image from disk to use as the icon overlay instead of an SF Symbol. Combine it with folder recoloring and text labels for a fully branded result. ▸ PLACE ICONS EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT THEM Resize the icon overlay from 20–60% of the folder face and shift it ±100 pixels on both axes. The 384×384 live preview updates in real time — what you see is exactly what gets applied. ▸ COPY, SAVE, OR RESTORE Copy the composited folder icon to your clipboard (⌘C) or save it as a PNG (⌘S). Swap styles as often as you like — one tap gets the original macOS icon back. Custom Folder Icons runs entirely on your Mac — no cloud services, no accounts, no data collection. Built with native macOS technologies and a sidebar browser, live-preview, and inspector layout that fits naturally alongside Finder, Xcode, and Photos. Requires macOS 26.0 or later. Designed for creative professionals, developers, researchers, and anyone who navigates their Mac faster by sight.
