Custom Folder Design

Make your Mac folders uniquely yours. Custom Folder Design is a powerful yet delightfully simple macOS app that lets you create stunning custom folder icons - with a live preview that updates instantly as you design.

DESIGN YOUR PERFECT ICON
Start from the classic folder blue or choose from 30 handpicked color presets - Sky Blue, Coral, Lavender, Gold, Onyx, and more. Dial in any color you want with the full color picker, or enable a gradient background to blend two colors smoothly.

LAYER ON ICONS AND PHOTOS
Add a system symbol, emoji, or your own image on top of the folder to give it instant personality. Drop in a background photo, control its opacity and blend mode, and position it exactly how you like.

INSTANT LIVE PREVIEW
The full-resolution canvas updates in real time as you design. See exactly how your icon will look before applying it - no guessing, no surprises.

APPLY IN ONE CLICK
When your design is ready, hit Apply to Folder and choose any folder on your computer. Custom Folder Design sets the icon instantly using native system technology. You can also export a crisp 1024 × 1024 PNG to use anywhere else.

BUILD A PERSONAL STYLE LIBRARY
Save your favorite designs and pull them up any time. Build a collection of looks that match your projects, mood, or workflow - and apply them to new folders in seconds.

EXPLORE THE EDITOR FOR 3 DAYS
New users get a built-in 3-day demo with Style Gallery access. After that, the core editor remains available and the Style Gallery unlocks forever with a one-time lifetime upgrade. No subscriptions.

UNDO / REDO BUILT IN
Made a change you didn't like? Step back with ⌘Z. Step forward again with ⌘⇧Z. Design freely without worrying about losing your work.

Custom Folder Design is a fully native modern app - fast, lightweight, and built specifically for macOS. Your designs stay on your computer, and there are no recurring subscriptions.
